Croydon Man Charged Again for Terrorizing Family, This Time with Gun Fire
A Bristol Township man who has been allegedly terrorizing a Croydon family was arrested and charged for a third time since January of 2022.
Tyler Perkins, 21, of Croydon was taken into custody Friday afternoon by Bristol Twp Police, charged with a felony count of carrying a gun without a license, a felony count of discharging a weapon into a home, two counts of terroristic threats, two counts of reckless endangerment and two counts of assault.
This is Perkins third arrest since January for terrorizing and threatening these victims.
This arrest, Police say, is due in part to a “continuing course of conduct to harass the victims, which, has included, “multiple threatening texts, phone calls” and “criminal conduct.”
According to the probable cause, on October 26, Perkins is alleged to have gotten into a fist fight with a juvenile victim causing an unspecified injury.
The young man, according to police, was taken by a family member to Police Headquarters to file a report, in which charges were filed for the altercation.
While filing the report, Perkins drove by the victims house and pointed a handgun at a second family member on the 2000 block of Colonial Drive, according to Police. A short time later, Perkins, police say, fired at least two gunshots in the direction of the victims as they scattered for safety.
Police say the gun shots struck a vehicle in the victim’s driveway and the door of a home, where a six-month old child resides on the 2000 block of Colonial Drive.
The incident was captured on video, which Lower Bucks Source has obtained, and two shell casings were also recovered at the scene by police.
One victim provided police with a written statement identifying Perkins as the person who fired gun shots while driving by the Croydon home.
Perkins, at the time of the incident was under the age of 21, and not legally allowed to own a gun in the commonwealth, nor does he have a permit to carry a firearm, police said in court papers.
The victims who are terrified of Perkins and what he might do, told police the juvenile involved with the original case, is terrified to testify against him in an upcoming court case scheduled for trial on April 14 the Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown.
In that case, he is charged with assault and harassment.
Perkins was arraigned by District Judge Frank W. Peranteau Sr.who set his bail at 10 percent of $50, 000.00
He is tentatively scheduled for a preliminary hearing on March 30 at Bristol Borough District Court
For the case filed and reported on by this publication on January 5th, Perkins is scheduled to appear for a hearing in ARD Court on April 26.
He remains in Bucks County Correctional Facility unable to post bond, according to online court records.
It’s says Perkins is 21 then later state Perkins is under the age of 21

Wow. You’d think the cops would help after the 2nd call but no they wait until the physcho goes there for a THIRD TIME n starts shooting! Talk about white privelege. If this were anyone else they’d be in jail since the 1st time and bail would be astronomical not $5000. He shot at ppl also striking a home with a baby in it! These judges and police have to do better. He should have way more charges n a way higher bail!!! Little cornball thug!!!

Are you really blaming this on the Police ? They do their jobs and then the DA’s. Let them right out. It happens every single day in Philly. And in Philly it’s Blsck Privilege.
