Police: Death Threat Prompted By Pork Dinner
• Muslim man accused mom of trying to "poison" him
JUNE 19--A Pennsylvania man allegedly threatened to kill his mother because he believed she tried to “poison” him by serving pork, “which was against his Muslim religion," investigators report.
Joshua Lee Coffey, 25, confronted his mother Sherri last week in the family’s home in St. Marys, a central Pennsylvania city.
Coffey accused his mother of “attempting to poison him,” noting that “the meat he was given to eat was pork, which was against his Muslim religion," according to a probable cause affidavit. A criminal complaint alleges that Coffey “did threaten to kill his mother…due to his displeasure with the dinner served to him.”
During the ensuing argument, Coffey allegedly threatened to kill his mother and her boyfriend (with whom she had been eating dinner in her bedroom).
At one point, Coffey went to the kitchen and retrieved a 10-inch kitchen knife. He then returned to the bedroom and “held the knife in a threatening manner,” prompting his mother to “flee out the window of the bedroom onto the roof.” Sherri Coffey subsequently called 911 and then went to a neighbor’s home to await the arrival of officers.
According to cops, Coffey held the knife to the throat of Mark Blair, his mother’s boyfriend, and threatened to kill him if his mother called the police. When cops reached the Coffey residence, they found Joshua, carrying the knife, in the backyard. After complying with an order to drop the weapon, Coffey was arrested.
Charged with simple assault and making terroristic threats, both misdemeanors, Coffey was booked into the Elk County jail in lieu of $5000 bail. He is scheduled for a June 25 preliminary hearing in District Court.
Exactly. And he’s 25 and his mama is still cooking for him.
Loser.
You know you’re a real looser when your own mother squeals on you.
25 year old goathumper lives with it's mommy and can't cook for itself... wonderful
I remember reading “Black Like Me” in junior high, then I got all righteous with my parents about how Negroes were treated...I'll never forget that raised eyebrow that always precluded a lecture:
” I never owned a slave, we couldn't afford one if we wanted one, and I've never stood in the way of another mans success, no matter what color he was, so get off your high-horse or get out of our house”
Pork chops and apple sauce.
What is it with guys who have the middle name of "Lee" or "Wayne?"
The Italian version of this dumb@ss got killed in Syria.
Isn’t that your job, Disambiguator?
Hey! I resemble that remark.
That’s right.
In my parents’ house you ate what was served (and were grateful for it) or you didn’t eat. You also didn’t mooch off your parents until you were 25.
You’re realy a sick person.
Should have offered a beer to wash it down (there is brewery STRAUB’S in town, went to college with member
of the Straub family....)

Does anyone have a picture of this bum?
Thanks DogByte6RER.
This poor man was probably just profiled because of his faith, and because of that 10 inch knife in his hand.
Yeah. I carry one in my wallet. Why do you ask?
Maybe it was a rhetorical question.
:^)
That’s Schwell!
