Anthony George Fata, 22, was wanted for allegedly using a handgun to threaten someone earlier in the month in the 200 block of North Eighth Street, according to city police.

Crystal Robinson remembered coming back to her Bethlehem home one day in April 2018 to find a number of city police officers there.
