Morrisville Mayor Under Investigation Over Accident: DA

MORRISVILLE, PA —The Bucks County District Attorney's Office is investigating an accident involving Mayor Brud Anderson, the mayor and authorities confirmed Thursday.

"It has been referred to our office for investigation," said Manuel Gamiz Jr., director of communications for the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.

Gamiz said he did not have any details about the accident. The Morrisville Borough Police Department did not return a call from Patch seeking information about the accident.

Anderson would not provide details when asked when the accident took place and what happened regarding the incident.

"I'm hanging in there. It is what it is," Anderson said. "I'll be more than glad to tell my side of the story when the investigation has been completed. This is not what it sounds like."

The Bucks County Courier Times reported that the accident was an alleged hit-and-run.

A search by Patch of the borough's police blotters since January did not find the accident or the mayor's name.

As mayor, Anderson oversees the borough’s police department.

Patch placed calls to Borough Manager Judith Demko, Council President Robert Paul, Council Vice President Helen Hlahol, and Councilman Scott Robinson seeking comment.
