Man Faces Trial For Threatening State Lawmaker

An Amwell Township man faces trial on multiple charges for threatening to bring a gun to a local state representative’s office. Authorities arrested 47-year-old Anthony Burnworth las month following two phone calls that were place to Democrat Pam Snyder’s office in Carmichaels in Greene County. The calls were related to issues he was having with his unemployment benefits. Burnworth is free on fifty-thousand-dollars bond until his formal arraignment, which is scheduled for February 28th. Burnworth’s attorney says they plan to seek an amicable resolution to what he called, “An unfortunate misunderstanding.”
