According to the report, Joshua Bushman, 26, was indicted on three counts – threatening to kill his uncle, possessing a Glock .40-caliber handgun for an unlawful purpose, and possessing a gun without a carry permit.
Police reports at the time said the Bushman allegedly got into a verbal and physical fight with his uncle at a home he was renovating on Feb. 11 in North Haledon.
