James Hudak III

A western Pennsylvania man is accused of threatening to kill his girlfriend and holding a pistol to the head of her 7-month-old baby.



He also is charged with lunging at a police dog, according to a report by triblive.com.



The accused is James J. Hudak III, 23, of Derry. Borough police said he threatened the woman and baby during an argument Tuesday night.



Police said Hudak's girlfriend told them he eventually released the baby and tried to hide his gun when police arrived. He first yelled at officers to "come and get me," but then surrendered, they said, although he became aggressive when lunged at Rocky, the Latrobe police department's K9 officer.



Hudak is in prison in lieu of $25,000 bail on charges of aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, child endangerment, making terroristic threats, disorderly conduct and harassing a police animal.
