An Ambridge man is in jail, accused of pointing a shotgun at two women and a police officer Sunday morning as he allegedly tried to enter a predominantly Black church.
Police were told 38-year-old Jeffrey Harris was wearing a camouflage vest and holding a shotgun when he was seen trying to get into Greater Dominion Church.
Officers said Harris had a 12-gauge shotgun, 25 rounds and crystal meth at the time of his arrest.
Preliminary reports indicate the incident was not racially motivated or pre-meditated.
Harris is facing assault and other charges and is in the Beaver County Jail on $975,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 5.
