U. NAZARETH TWP. | The husband of Nazareth Area High School's varsity field hockey coach faces charges after police said Wednesday he threatened his family with a gun.

Michael A. Reiss, 40, of the first block of Mitchell Avenue, began choking his juvenile stepson after Reiss found him pouring beer down a drain, police said.

Police said Reiss then got a pistol and loaded it. Reiss' wife, Beth, told the two boys in the house to run. Michael Reiss pushed Beth Reiss to the ground, police said.

Beth Reiss confirmed she is the field hockey coach but declined to comment further.

Michael Reiss is charged with three counts of simple assault, three counts of harassment and two counts of disorderly conduct. He was released after he posted 10 percent of $10,000.

Nazareth Area High School Athletic Director Bob Holland declined to comment on the matter. Nazareth Superintendent Victor Lesky did not return phone calls seeking comment.
