Man threatened, assaulted by exes, police say
While at his girlfriend’s Nazareth home Thursday, a man was threatened at gunpoint by her ex-boyfriend and then assaulted three and a half hours later by his own ex-girlfriend, police said.
Alonzo Hazard, 25, of the 300 block of Taylor Avenue, Easton, and Kayla Torres, 23, of the 400 block of Williams Street, Easton, are charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, both felonies, and reckless endangerment and simple assault, both misdemeanors.
Hazard is charged also with endangering children’s welfare and carrying an unlicensed gun, both felonies, and terroristic threats, a misdemeanor. Torres is charged also with a harassment citation.
District Judge John Capobianco placed Hazard in county jail under $150,000 bail and released Torres on $50,000 unsecured bail.
At 5:45 a.m., Hazard arrived at his ex-girlfriend’s home in the 10 block of Belvidere Street to exchange custody of their two children, ages 4 and 1.
Hazard got angry when discovering her current boyfriend, the victim, with her. Hazard pointed a handgun at him and said, “Next time I see you, I will kill you,” a police affidavit states.
At 9:16 a.m., the victim’s ex-girlfriend, Torres, arrived to pick up their minor child.
Torres got angry when seeing the victim with his current girlfriend, grabbed a kitchen knife from the counter and threatened to assault her, the affidavit states. The victim took the knife from Torres and told her to leave, after which she hit him in the back of the head with an empty wine bottle.
