Wrightstown Man Tried to Kill Father, Grandmother: Police

A Wrightstown man is facing attempted murder charges after police say he attacked two family members during an assault Thursday.

According to Newtown Township Police, officers were dispatched to Lark Lane at 3 p.m. on Jan. 29 after the Bucks County Communications Center received a suspicious call. The 911 caller was only able to say “Lark Lane” before the call was disconnected, police said.

When police arrived, there were two men fighting on the front lawn of the house. The younger male, identified as Jared Rose, 24, was on top of his father, repeatedly hitting him in the head.

The younger Rose continually refused police commands and had to be tased, according to officers.

Once separated, officers identified the other male as Jared’s 57-year-old father, who was bleeding “profusely” from his head had a visible puncture wound on the left side of his face, police said.

As officers were gaining control of this scene, an elderly female wandered aimlessly wondering towards them from the area of the garage.

The woman, identified as Jared Rose’s 95-year-old grandmother, was bleeding profusely from the head and was missing several teeth. She was not able to clearly speak because her lower jaw appeared fractured, according to police.

“When asked who did this to her and she replied ‘my grandson Jared.’ She offered no explanation why he did it and was not clear on the events that led up to it,” officers said.

All three involved were treated at St. Mary Medical Center.

In addition to attempted murder charges, Rose is charged with aggravated assault and other misdemeanors.

He is currently in Bucks County Prison. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 9, court records show.
