A pilot accused of shooting a handgun into the walls of the Middletown condo complex where he lived pleaded guilty on Thursday, the Bucks County Courier Times reported.
Justin Levitt, 29, pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and possessing drug paraphernalia, the paper reported. Previous felony charges were dropped by the prosecution.

Police responded to the Harper’s Crossing complex in the Langhorne section of Middletown in late November after reports of shots fired were phoned in. Officers got to the scene and discovered several neighbors had damage consistent with a bullet tearing through the walls of multi-unit building, NBC10 reported.
When interviewed by police, Levitt told authorities he had a “bad dream” and must have fired the gun, PhillyBurbs.com stated in an article.
Later, the 29-year-old former military pilot admitted to police he snorted heroin before firing the pistol.

Aside from heroin and marijuana, investigators found vials of clean urine in his flight bag. The urine would be used in case he had to undergo a drug screening at his Paoli-based pilot job, the Philadelphia Inquirer said in a story.
No injuries were reported in the early morning shooting incident.
Levitt will be sentenced in the coming weeks and remains free on $250,000. His attorney told the newspaper Levitt is completing a rehab program.
