According to police, 32-year-old Jeremany Washington has been charged with first-degree felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person and simple assault.
Washington was allegedly involved in a verbal argument with the victim when he took a can of gas from his car and dumped it over the victim’s clothing while threatening to kill her.

Washington was remanded to the Bradford County Jail on $250,000 bail.
