Felony Charges Dropped Against Ex-Bensalem Police Officer

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office has dropped felony charges against a former Bensalem Township police officer originally accused of drug delivery and the criminal use of a communication facility.

Thomas Mee, 47, of Langhorne, recently waived his preliminary hearing, sending the case directly to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.

Mee now faces two misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia

Mee was arrested in March in an ongoing drug investigation after allegedly arranging to purchase a quarter pound of methamphetamine.

Detectives say the transaction occurred in the parking lot of a Walmart in Hilltown Township, where Mee was taken into custody.

Investigators had alleged the quantity of methamphetamine involved suggested an intent to distribute, which formed the basis of the more serious charges that have since been withdrawn.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office did not state why the felony charges were dropped, citing the ongoing nature of the case.

Mee served as a Bensalem police officer for 13 years before leaving the department in 2019 in good standing for personal reasons.

Mee remains free on unsecured bail as the case proceeds through the court system.
