Police: Death Threat Prompted By Pork Dinner
• Muslim man accused mom of trying to "poison" him
JUNE 19--A Pennsylvania man allegedly threatened to kill his mother because he believed she tried to “poison” him by serving pork, “which was against his Muslim religion," investigators report.
Joshua Lee Coffey, 25, confronted his mother Sherri last week in the family’s home in St. Marys, a central Pennsylvania city.
Coffey accused his mother of “attempting to poison him,” noting that “the meat he was given to eat was pork, which was against his Muslim religion," according to a probable cause affidavit. A criminal complaint alleges that Coffey “did threaten to kill his mother…due to his displeasure with the dinner served to him.”
During the ensuing argument, Coffey allegedly threatened to kill his mother and her boyfriend (with whom she had been eating dinner in her bedroom).
At one point, Coffey went to the kitchen and retrieved a 10-inch kitchen knife. He then returned to the bedroom and “held the knife in a threatening manner,” prompting his mother to “flee out the window of the bedroom onto the roof.” Sherri Coffey subsequently called 911 and then went to a neighbor’s home to await the arrival of officers.
According to cops, Coffey held the knife to the throat of Mark Blair, his mother’s boyfriend, and threatened to kill him if his mother called the police. When cops reached the Coffey residence, they found Joshua, carrying the knife, in the backyard. After complying with an order to drop the weapon, Coffey was arrested.
Charged with simple assault and making terroristic threats, both misdemeanors, Coffey was booked into the Elk County jail in lieu of $5000 bail. He is scheduled for a June 25 preliminary hearing in District Court.

Mmmmmm. Pork.
That’ll do, pig.
I wonder if Sherri would like my recipe for barbequed pork ribs.
All Islamists are invited to my place for McRibs. Never mind that’s probably not even real pork!
Probably needs to worry if she comes home to a new pressure cooker on her kitchen counter.
What kind of convert is he? He didn’t change his name to Mohamed Adbul Aziz, or something else more fitting???
Do you understand that it hurts 2A?
Unbelievable.
?
You don’t win friends with salad!
St. Mary’s is a tiny little backwoods sorta town... this guy converting to Islam is the equivalent of your teenaged daughters becoming vegans... an attention ploy being “difficult” for the sake of being difficult. You know, the type... they are all so unique and special because they all have the same bullerfly tattoo.
Eating crackers in bed is one thing.
But informally dining on pork chops in your bedroom withyour boyfriend opens up all kinds of new possibilities.
WTF, he’s 25 and his mother is still making him dinner? I’d be thinking about putting something else in his food.
Hope this woman gets a clue and makes preparations to protect herself.
You got that right!

At 25, he could go get his own dam* meal.
