Donald A. Burkhart Jr., 49, of Middletown, was convicted of two counts of terroristic threats and acquitted of a third after authorities say he threatened to bring a biker gang to a hospital, prompting a lockdown. (Lancaster County District Attorney's Office).
Prosecutors argued a Middletown man caused a hospital to go on lockdown after he threatened to bring a biker gang there.
These threats were made while 49-year-old Donald A. Burkhart Jr.’s wife was in labor at the UPMC Lititz, and he demanded that his wife be permitted to smoke and that he be allowed to bring his pit bull into the hospital, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.
A jury on Friday found Burkhart guilty of two counts of terroristic threats and not guilty of a third count, court records show.
He will be sentenced at a later date on the felony and misdemeanor counts related to the Nov. 20 incident.
Assistant District Attorney Amara Riley argued during the two-day trial that Burkhart told nurses and a doctor he was president of a biker gang and “things got ugly” at a previous hospital incident.
He told them he cannot control his temper and the gang “will descend on this hospital and have their way,” according to the district attorney’s office.
Staff members testified they feared for their safety, leading an overnight hospital lockdown
