A Levittown man who police say beheaded his father then posted online a grisly video showing the man’s severed head while ranting about killing federal government employees has been charged with homicide.
Justin Mohn, described as the youngest son of the victim, was taken into custody in Fort Indiantown Gap, some 100 miles away from the Upper Orchard Drive home where officers found the decapitated body of his father, Michael Mohn, on Tuesday.
He was arraigned on murder charges at midnight and brought back to Bucks County, said Middletown Police Lt. Pete Feeney.
According to court documents, Justin Mohn used a machete and a large kitchen knife, both found in a bathtub in the home by police, who also recovered the victim’s head wrapped in plastic laying in a large cooking pot. The cause of death was not released Wednesday as the investigation continued.
Feeney said police are still putting together a timeline of events and it remains unclear why Mohn, 32, fled to Fort Indiantown Gap, home of a large National Guard Training Center.
“There are a lot of unanswered questions and he’s not talking to us about the incident. Well, he’s talking, just not about this,” said Feeney, who was outside the Mohn house just before dawn Wednesday.
Justin Mohn of Levittown is captured in this screenshot of the gruesome YouTube video he allegedly made after beheading his father in Levittown on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2024.
Mohn has also been charged with possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of corpse. Other charges may be filed later Wednesday. He is lodged in Bucks County Jail, Feeney said.
Police were called to the neat, green-shuttered Jubilee-style house about 7 p.m. Tuesday. Justin Mohn’s mother, Denice, returned home and found her husband’s body. He and his father were the only ones in the home for about five hours, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
The woman’s screams caused at least one neighbor to call police, Feeney said.
“We got called to the home and officers went in and discovered the father deceased,” Middletown Police Department Chief Joseph Bartorilla said outside the crime scene late Tuesday night.
On Wednesday morning, police confirmed Michael Mohn, 68, was beheaded, as his son told the world he did in a YouTube video the day before.
Justin Mohn posted the 14-minute video to YouTube around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. In it, Mohn holds up a decapitated head wrapped in plastic and claims it is his father, who he identifies as a federal employee of more than 20 years. He described his father as a “traitor” in his violent, anti-government ramblings on the video.
On Wednesday afternoon, authorities confirmed Michael Mohn was a federal employee but did nto immediately release where he worked.

So…. CIA or some other spook agency? Pretty sure they would have just said the agency if it was the Department of Agriculture or something
