Bucks Co. Beheading Suspect Court Date Delayed

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The court appearance for the Levittown man charged with beheading his father is being delayed, authorities said Monday.

Justin Mohn, 32, is charged with killing his father in January and posting a disturbing YouTube video holding his father’s decapitated head and calling for violent attacks against members of the federal government.

He was expected to appear for a preliminary hearing at the Bucks County Justice Center on numerous charges involving the Jan. 30 murder of his father, 68-year-old Michael Mohn in their Levittown home.

Manuel Gamiz, director of communications for the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, said that Mohn's defense team requested the continuance.

He said that the hearing would be rescheduled, but that no date has been announced yet.

Mohn, of the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive, was arrested hours after the Jan. 30 killing of his father and charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime.

Authorities later filed three counts of terrorism charges against him.

Police had received information about a 14-minute video posted to YouTube, which showed Mohn picking up the decapitated head of his father, identifying him by name and as his father. In the video, Mohn ordered all militia and patriots across the United States to kill all federal employees.

Hours after the murder, investigators tracked Mohn’s cellphone to the National Guard Training Center in Fort Indiantown Gap, Lebanon County. There, he climbed a barbed wire fence and entered a secure military installation.

The investigation revealed that Mohn went to Fort Indiantown Gap to mobilize the National Guard to raise arms against the federal government.
