A 27-year-old Fairless Hills man is facing serious charges after his game of emotional blackmail involving his ex girlfriend got him three days in jail on aggravated assault, false imprisonment, terroristic threats and related charges.

Jonathan Boerner was taken into custody by Falls Township Police on the morning of Jan 24 and arraigned by on-call District Judge Joseph P. Falcone. Falcone set bail at 10 percent of $150,000. Boerner was remanded to County Jail for about three days and was released when bail was posted.

According to the probable cause, police were dispatched to the Commons of Fallsington Apartments on January 23, 2026 at 9:38pm. Bucks County Radio (BCR) advised officers the female complainant’s ex-boyfriend allegedly forced her to stay at his house in the 600 block of Trenton Road in Fairless Hills for three hours, physically assaulted her, and threatened her with a gun.

Arriving officers noted the victim was visibly shaking and said she was afraid for her life, officers wrote in court papers.

She explained, police said in court papers, she recently broke up with Boerner through texting. He refused to end the relationship over text and pleaded with her to meet in person, forgetting it only takes one person to end a relationship.

The victim told the police she arrived at his residence around 5:15 pm, and they entered his bedroom, The two talked for approximately 30 minutes, where the victim said she ended the relationship. Boerner then exited his bedroom and allegedly returned with a gun. The victim described the gun to be a “black pistol/small firearm,” and said Boerner recently bought the firearm from an unknown source and it was not registered to him.

Boerner then pointed the gun at his head saying “I’m going to kill myself,” the victim told police.

The victim, told police, she was terrified, took her phone out, and pleaded with Boerner to allow her to leave. He then grabbed her right arm, shoved her onto the bed, saying he was going to kill her, and she was not leaving, He then shut the bedroom door and blocked her from leaving.

Boerner allowed her to enter the living room 30 minutes later, but locked the front door, the victim said.

After another argument, the victim asked to go outside, which Boerner allowed, but demanded her to leave her keys in the living room, and to leave her phone in her pocket.

While outside, Boerner threatened the victim, saying if she attempted to run away, he was going to grab her and kill himself, the victim told police.

The young woman somehow convinced Boerner to let her leave at approximately 8:15 pm to “grab food”.

She left and instead immediately went home and called police.

The victim again told on scene police officers she was afraid for her life while Boerner was wielding the gun and had bruised her right arm, during the incident.

She was instructed, around 11:00 pm, to text Boerner to meet her out front of his residence to “talk about their relationship”. It was at this time police staged in proximity of Boerner’s residence. Boerner then exited his residence, attempting to evade police, in which a short foot pursuit ensued, according to the probable cause.

Due to the facts and nature of the incident, according to police, the possibility of Boerner concealing a firearm, and Boerner’s permit to conceal carry, the original officer deployed his taser, taking Boerner to the ground. Boerner continued to resist police and was eventually taken into custody.

He was read his Miranda Rights, which he said he understood and agreed to talk with police.

Police said, he denied having a gun, but said he had owned them in the past but no longer has any. Boerner admitted to grabbing the victim and throwing her on the bed.

He is scheduled to appear for a  April 8, 2026 court date.  Boerner, according to court records,  is  represented by Michael Kotik, Esq. of SKA Law Firm in Philadelphia.
