A Schuylkill County man pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and threatened his father Friday morning after the two argued and scuffled over a planned family Christmas Party, police said.

No shot was fired, but both Port Clinton men were arrested.

Codey Himmelberger, 22, pulled the pistol on his father, Bradley Himmelberger, 41, at 10:50 a.m. as the younger Himmelberger tried to get into his vehicle outside his father's house, state police at Schuylkill Haven said.

Police did not explain what the two were angry about, except to say it was related to a party scheduled later Friday.

After the younger and older Himmelberger argued, they fought physically and the son left the 35 Penn St. house for his vehicle, police said. The father followed him outside, where the son pulled the gun and made the threat, state Trooper John Sleboda reported.

Police were called to the scene, where Codey Himmelberger was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault and harassment, and Bradley Himmelberger was charged with simple assault and harassment.

The two were arraigned by District Judge Anthony Kilker, who sent them to Schuylkill County Prison — the son under $25,000 bail, the father under $15,000 bail.

Police said Codey Himmelberger's handgun is registered to him.
