SUNBURY — Two teenagers who allegedly beat and threatened a Sunbury woman while one held a gun to her head were jailed Thursday.

James Lamount Pacley, 17, of 1277 Highland Ave., Sunbury, and Erion Benjamin Burroughs, 18, of 115 First St., Danville, allegedly beat up Jessica Parsons, 20, of South 11th Street, Sunbury, on July 3, because they were mad at her boyfriend, George Kee, police said.

Parsons told city police that a group of males in their teens and early 20s had been following her for a few days prior to the assault, court documents said.

On July 3, she was walking from Masser Street to Eleventh Street and took the alleys to avoid the men.

While walking in the alley, she was struck from behind, knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly by several men, the complaint said.

One of the men reportedly said, “It’s not George, but his girlfriend is good enough” and threatened, “Just kill the snitch’s (expletive).”

Parsons said she blacked out and when she awoke, a man she later identified as Pacley, was holding a semi-automatic handgun to her head.

The man warned her if they didn’t find Kee within 24 hours, he’d be back for her.

The men said they were looking for Kee because they believed he’d disclosed information to police about a man named “Murder,” the alias of Thomas Edwards, the complaint said.

Parsons, who was treated at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, told police that Kee and Edwards do not get along.

She identified two of the alleged attackers as Pacley and Burroughs from photographs.

Warrants were issued for their arrest and on Thursday night Sunbury police spotted the pair in the 600 block of North Sixth Street.

Additional officers were called and Pacley was arrested without incident, police said.

Burroughs allegedly fled through a home and to Seventh Street where he was nabbed by officers.

Both men were arraigned before District Judge Robert J. Bolton on felony counts of aggravated assault, and criminal conspiracy, as well as misdemeanor simple assault, terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person.
