Lewisburg Man Christopher John Treshock Arrested After Allegedly Threatening Patrons, Claiming Gun

Buffalo Valley Regional Police arrested Christopher John Treshock, 21, of Elysburg, after an incident outside Brendan’s Towne Tavern in downtown Lewisburg around 1:00 a.m. on Jan. 4, police records show. Witnesses described Treshock as belligerent near Cherry Alley and Seventh Street; a doorman restrained him long enough for college students and other patrons to leave the area, officers reported.

An affidavit filed by investigators describes a sequence of actions that prompted the arrest. The affidavit says Treshock “reached behind him in the area where someone would keep a gun,” and that he later “stated he did have a 9mm and asked another witness if they ‘wanted some’ of it.” A companion who spoke to the doorman told staff that Treshock did not have a gun but “was not sure,” according to the police account.

Bar staff and witnesses identified Treshock from surveillance video and photos, and Buffalo Valley Regional Police took him into custody shortly after the reported disturbance, police records indicate. Local charging documents list misdemeanor terroristic threats, summary disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness among the counts filed against Treshock. A preliminary hearing is referenced in court paperwork but the date was not provided in the available records.

Police response and on-scene intervention limited further escalation, the arrest report states. The doorman’s restraint of Treshock is credited in witness accounts with allowing several college students to leave safely; those same witnesses later assisted investigators by identifying the suspect in video and photographic evidence used during the initial investigation.

Social media discussion around the incident has circulated in the Lewisburg community. A local social post paraphrased the alleged remark as asking whether patrons wanted to “eat a nine,” and the post received about 30 reactions, 13 comments and 9 shares in the snapshot of engagement available to reporters. Public comments ranged from calls for informal penalties to skepticism about whether a gun was involved; these reactions were user opinions and not part of the police record.

Key factual gaps remain pending public records: the Buffalo Valley Regional Police have not reported recovering a firearm at the scene, booking and bail information was not included in the charging summary, and the exact date for the preliminary hearing has not been entered on the docket provided to reporters. Court filings and the department’s incident report should clarify whether additional charges or evidence follow from the affidavit’s allegations.
