He also faces a charge of possession of a firearm with an altered manufacturer’s number. These are all first-degree felonies, according to Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan.
The charges are related to the deadly shooting of Christopher E. Potter, 56, who was killed at his home in South Whitehall Township. Potter was pronounced dead on Friday at 6:36 a.m. at the 3400 block of Cambridge Circle in South Whitehall Township, according to the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office.
