May 22—LEWISBURG — A Lewisburg man accused in a 2020 shooting incident in Union County is on house arrest after punching another man in the face in Lewisburg, according to new police charges.

Union County Judge Michael Piecuch determined on Monday that Stephen Reid Jr., 32, of Lewisburg, violated the terms of his bail conditions. Piecuch ordered Reid to be placed on house arrest with electronic monitoring. Reid allegedly punched a man in the 600 block of Market Street in downtown Lewisburg at 1:50 a.m. Jan. 20, according to court documents.

Reid was charged with four misdemeanors: one count of simple assault and three counts of disorderly conduct; and three summary counts of harassment. The charges were filed by Buffalo Valley Regional Police Patrolman Travis Burrows.

Reid and Mark Parrilla, 33, of Lewisburg, are accused of being involved in a drive-by shooting on June 1, 2020, outside of a home along Route 45, just west of the Lewisburg Borough line. Julio Gonzalez, 27, of South Fourth Street, Lewisburg, is the accused shooter.

Gonzalez is accused of shooting Daevon Bodden in the leg and grazing the neck of a second man, Jeffin Lewis, in a targeted attack on June 1, 2020, outside of a home along Route 45, just west of the Lewisburg Borough line. He was charged by Buffalo Valley police with attempted homicide and aggravated assault.

Multiple properties were struck by alleged gunfire from Gonzalez as well as alleged return fire from Bodden, 22, of Lewisburg, police said.

Reid and Parrilla, who are brothers, are both charged by Buffalo Valley Regional Police with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure and criminal conspiracy — 14 total counts.

The brothers are accused by police investigators of conspiring with Gonzalez and the driver of the vehicle from which the shots were reportedly fired, Justin Calzada, 27, of Northumberland.

Calzada pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiracy to discharge a firearm into an occupied structure, but his sentencing was not listed in online court documents.

Bodden pleaded guilty in September 2021 to a felony count of discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure and was sentenced in November 2021 to 22 to 72 months in state prison, according to court documents.

Those involved in the attempted homicide case do not have any pending court dates at this time.
