A Bradford man is in McKean County Jail following an early November incident. The alleged assailant is accused of threatening to kill two people and breaking the jaw of one in an altercation.

James Christian “Bud” Thomas, 24, of 71 School St., was arraigned Monday before District Judge Dom Cercone on the following charges: Aggravated assault, attempts to cause severe bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference, a first-degree felony; second-degree misdemeanor for simple assault; two counts of first-degree misdemeanors for terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another; third-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct, engage in fighting; and two summary counts for subjecting others to physical contact.

Unable to post $10,000 bail, Thomas was remanded to jail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7.

According to the criminal complaint, at 11:02 p.m. Nov. 9, Bradford City Police were dispatched to a disturbance near the intersection of Bank and North Center streets. Upon arrival, officers met up with one of the victims, a male, who stated he had been walking with his girlfriend, a juvenile female who was also identified as a victim, when Thomas rode up behind them on an e-bike.

As the male victim turned around, another person approached from behind. The additional assailant reportedly held a knife to the male victim’s abdominal area, the complaint stated. As this occurred, Thomas allegedly struck the male victim on the right side of the face. The male victim also reported to officers that Thomas threatened to kill him.

The complaint further stated that Thomas approached the female victim and told her that he would knock her out and kill her.

Officers confirmed the male victim suffered a fractured right jaw as a result of Thomas striking the victim, according to the complaint.
