Beheading Suspect Court Hearing Delayed Again In Lower Bucks

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The Levittown man accused of beheading his father in their home has had his preliminary hearing delayed once again.

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 on Thursday and in April 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, but that was delayed.

It was announced late Wednesday that the preliminary hearing scheduled for Thursday has been continued.

The new hearing date is now set for Aug. 22, said Manuel Gamiz Jr., director of communications for the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.

The hearing at the Bucks County Justice Center will determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial on the charges against the Middletown Township man.

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.
