Insult to injury

It wasn’t bad enough for Jim Penna to lose his job as lead anchor and news director of WWCP-TV (8). He was also the subject of death threats from a New Stanton man.

According to the Tribune-Democrat, Bruce Profaizer, 31, pleaded guilty yesterday to making terroristic threats.

Police in Croyle Township, Cambria County, allege that Profaizer harassed Penna, his family and neighbors because WWCP had run stories about him four years earlier.

Profaizer will be sentenced Feb. 28.
