MIDDLETOWN, PA – A 20-year-old woman was charged on Monday with filing a false police report about an attempted rape and kidnapping in the parking lot of the Redner’s in the township last month.
Anjela Borisova Urumova, of Bristol Township, faced charges including false alarm to an agency of public safety and tampering with physical evidence, as well as counts of false reports and unsworn falsification to authorities.
She was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Charles D. Jonas and remanded to Bucks County Correctional Facility under a $30,000 bail, 10 percent.
The man implicated in the attack, Daniel Pierson, was released from BCCF on Friday after investigations revealed inconsistencies in Urumova’s account of the incident.

GREENSBURG, PA – Two men have pleaded guilty in a December 2024 shooting inside a Vandergrift bar that left three people wounded, including both defendants and the man prosecutors say was the intended target.
Brydon Williams-Chambers and John Booker pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure and carrying firearms without a license, according to Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli.
Common Pleas Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio sentenced Williams-Chambers to four to 10 years in prison followed by one year of probation. Booker is expected to be sentenced within the next 90 days.
Argument Inside Bar Escalated Into Gunfire
Police were called to Anthony’s bar on Longfellow Road in Vandergrift after shots were fired inside the business in December 2024.
Prosecutors said Booker and Williams-Chambers approached another man inside the bar and became involved in a verbal argument.
During the confrontation, Williams-Chambers pulled out a gun, according to the district attorney’s office.
Gunfire then erupted inside the bar.
Booker and Williams-Chambers were both struck, along with a third man who prosecutors described as the intended target of the attack.
One Defendant Sentenced as Second Awaits Court Date
Williams-Chambers received a state prison sentence of four to 10 years.
His sentence will be followed by one year of probation upon release.
Booker has not yet been sentenced. The district attorney’s office said his sentencing is expected within 90 days.
