Police: ‘Pagan’ harassment suspect says someone stuck gun in his mouth

WILKES-BARRE — A Wayne County man who claims to be a member of a motorcycle gang told city police someone placed the barrel of a shotgun inside his mouth on Monday.

Police arrested Robert E. Fulmer, 51, of Hawley, on charges he forced his way inside a residence on North Fulton Street and threatened several people saying, “I’m a (expletive) pagan I will kill you and everyone in that house,” according to court records.

During the chaos, Fulmer claimed he was attacked and a shotgun placed in his mouth.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police responded to 105 N. Fulton St. for a report several people had a man on the floor with guns aimed at his head at about 11 a.m. When officers arrived, Fulmer was detained when he was found sitting in a vehicle.

Tiffany Ankadovich told police Fulmer forced himself inside her residence looking for Alyssa Smith.

Fulmer allegedly held a bat and threatened to kill everyone in the house saying he was a pagan.

Officers found Smith running into a house on Amber Lane.

Smith told police she was staying with Fulmer but wanted to move with her father to Florida. She claimed Fulmer became confrontational with Ankadovich because her boyfriend is in a rival gang known as OTF.

Smith claimed she was in fear for her life when Fulmer retrieved a bat. She lost her shoes running and ran into a store for help but was kicked out for having no shoes on her feet, the complaint says.

Fulmer told police several men in the house attacked him and one of them had a shotgun in his mouth.

Fulmer was arraigned by District Judge David Barilla in Forty Fort on charges of terroristic threats, simple assault, criminal trespass and harassment. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail.
