Levittown Man Sentenced for Firing Gun at Pennsbury Wood Apt Complex as “Stalking” Survivor Speaks Out

The Levittown man who fired gunshots through a door at Pennsbury Wood Apartments last winter as a likely show of symbolic rage directed at a Falls woman he had been allegedly stalking was sentenced Thursday to a slew of no contact conditions and treatment requirements by a Bucks County judge. President Judge Raymond F. McHugh sentenced Munaj R. Booker, now 30, for firing his handgun into the front door of an apartment across the hallway from his. As part of the open guilty plea agreement made with Bucks County prosecutors in a hearing last Tuesday, at the Justice Center in Doylestown. Judge McHugh sentenced him to up to 23 months of jail time, giving him credit for about seven months of time served and granting him immediate parole. The intended symbolic victim of Booker’s rage /gunfire is a woman we’ll identify identify as “Nurse Jenn.” Booker was employed at the same medical facility as the victim – a licensed practical nurse and now mother of three. According to “*Nurse Jenn” Booker pursued her by asking her out on dates, allegedly trying to setup situations at the medical facility they both worked at to isolate her and making lewd gestures and inappropriate sexually harassing comments. At every attempt, Nurse Jenn said, she forcefully and repeatedly said “No” and made it abundantly clear she had zero interest in him and let him know she was in a committed relationship. Booker allegedly confronted her boyfriend at work. She realized that the situation was worsening and escalating. She said she spoke with Falls Township Police officers at least twice to report stalking and harassment The problem she said she faced getting Falls authorities to file charges against Booker was a lack of actual and factual evidence for them to bring charges. She had no threatening texts/ recorded phone calls/ or videos as proof or evidence of Booker’s growing obsession There was a brief cooldown period and then all of a sudden Booker moved into the apartment across the hall from the apartment where she, her fiance and children lived, Nurse Jenn explained. “I was really f**king stressed out” and “very pregnant.” He was following home from work and now he moved in right across the hall. That wasn’t a coincidence. He was stalking me. Booker eventually he saw her and that was the reason he shot at her apt door she said. I hadn’t seen him for awhile at work and now I was pregnant and showing when we crossed paths in the apartment building hallway the day before all the police were here, she said, I was really pissed off now! “He didn’t know I was pregnant.” She was scared and worried about her oldest getting on the bus for school in the morning at the apartment complex entranceway. That Sunday she and her family were on a trip and later heard the complex was on police lockdown.

According to the probable cause, around 6: 30 p.m. an unidentified neighbor reported hearing a gunshot which led him into the common-area vestibule of the apartment complex. He told police he observed wood chips on the ground next to the door of apartment #D-10. He then looked at the door to apartment #D-10 and noticed a gunshot exit hole through the door, coming from the interior of the apartment. The complainant stated that he then observed a bullet entrance hole in the wall of the room directly across from apartment #D-10, which is apartment #D-11. Nobody was present inside apartment #D-11 when this incident occurred. Booker initiated a standoff with police lasting more than two hours. The Bucks County South SWAT Team was activated and arrived on scene minutes after “shots fired” reports circulated on social media. Apartment #D-11 is where Nurse Jen and her family lived at the time. They have since relocated. Subsequent to Booker’s arrest he was evicted by the Pennsbury Woods management company for firing his weapon, a lease violation. As part of his guilty plea Booker is to have no contact with Nurse Jenn’s family, Pennsbury Woods, and Pennsbury High School. Booker is required to have a mental health and drug and alcohol evaluations and abide by its recommendations. He can no longer possess or own firearms. Any firearms in his possession upon release, must be surrendered to the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office immediately. He also must comply with the general rules, regulations and conditions governing probation/parole applicable to his offense(s) in addition to any other penalty imposed for a parole term of two years. “I don’t feel good about this” Nurse Jenn said after the hearing about the penalties imposed on Booker by Judge McHugh. “He’s now out there somewhere and he is a danger to all women. And you know I’m going to everything I need to do to protect my family!” NOVA Bucks County provides an array of comprehensive services to crime victim/survivors.

Jo Ames & Jeff Bohen

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.
