BROOKVILLE BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) – New charges have been filed against a former New Bethlehem man with a history of threatening court and law enforcement officials in relation to a threatening letter received by Punxsutawney-based State Police.
Court documents indicate the Punxsutawney-based State Police filed criminal charges against 30-year-old Joseph David Supik, who is currently an inmate at SCI Huntingdon.

The complaint indicates the letter included threats of murder and torture directed at Jefferson County President Judge John Foradora, and the return address on the envelope was the address for SCI Bennett.
On November 30, police spoke to Joseph Supik, who reportedly admitted to writing the letter.
