BETHLEHEM, Pa. | A man facing charges in Allentown after an early-morning hit-and-run last week is also facing charges after allegedly trying to take a stolen handgun into a Bethlehem club last year.
Bethlehem police charged Nikolas E. Davis, of South Idaho Street in Allentown, with weapons offenses after he allegedly tried to bring the stolen gun into the H2O Hookah Lounge in August 2019. Authorities filed charges last year, but the 28-year-old wasnât arraigned until Wednesday afternoon.
Bethlehem police were dispatched to the club in the first block of East Third Street shortly after 3 a.m. Aug. 11, 2019. A witness reported seeing a man place a handgun in a car parked across the street after he was refused entry, according to the criminal complaint. A search of the registration showed the car was owned by 25-year-old William Ramos Jr., who didnât have a concealed carry permit, according to police.
