Man throws gasoline, threatens to burn down home

Two people in Bedford County are facing charges Friday after an argument led to gunshots being fired in Woodbury Township.

Police say it all started when Earl Swope Jr.  and Justin Cuningham argued on Wednesday evening over a phone call Swope had received.

That argument escalated when Cunningham began throwing gasoline at Swope’s home along pulpit road, and threatened to burn it down.

Swope responded by taking out a gun and firing shots in Cunningham’s direction.

Both men are facing reckless endangerment charges amongst others.
