He was arrested three blocks away when officers pulled over a cherry red Ford F-150 pickup at Hopkins Lane and Zucksville Road, Kranich said.

The man was taken to Central Booking at Northampton County Prison, where he was to be arraigned on charges of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment and discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, Kranich said.

Police did not name the man pending the arraignment. The home is owned by Vincent and Katherine Fedele, according to Northampton County property records.

A woman briefly came out of the home and spoke to neighbors and then returned inside as police investigated. An officer remained more than an hour with the Ford pickup in which the man was arrested.

Neighbors returned to their homes after the incident, and the scene fell mostly quiet, with the exception of a few happier sounds from unrelated celebrations at nearby residences.
