“I will be around your area and your phone is tapped … got your exact location whenever it’s on HaHaHa your getting f----- up big time. No PFA No PFA can do s--- bitch my lawyers are beating your ass.”

Later he sent the following:

“The more you keep quiet the more the brass knuckles are gonna hurt when we smash your f----- skull threw come on you fat worthless piece of s--- talk now.”

The victim told Bethlehem police that was terrified of Pagan because of the threats, court papers said.
