BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. — Note: The video is from January 31.
The Bucks County man accused of murdering and beheading his father last month is facing additional charges, including three counts of terrorism, prosecutors said Thursday.
Justin Mohn, 32, of Middletown, is charged with the murder of his father, Michael F. Mohn, on January 30, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said. After shooting his father with a handgun bought the previous day, prosecutors said, Justin Mohn cut off his father's head and brandished it on a 14-minute video posted to YouTube, in which he allegedly called for violent attacks against members of the federal government.
During the video, entitled "Mohn's Militia: Call to Arms for American Patriots," Justin Mohn allegedly called his father, a former member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a "traitor to his country" who he said was "now in hell for eternity."
Justin Mohn identified himself in the video as "commander of Mohn's Militia," and called for followers to kill federal employees, prosecutors claim. He allegedly called for the arrest of all FBI, IRS and all other federal agents and judges, who were to be "tortured for information" prior to being executed, according to prosecutors.
Mohn also allegedly provided the name and address of a federal judge, on whom he allegedly placed a bounty, prosecutors said.
He then stole his father's car and drove to Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County, where he was captured on the grounds of the military base after driving through a barricade and climbing a barbed-wire fence, according to prosecutors.
He allegedly told police he was at the base to mobilize members of the Pennsylvania National Guard to "raise up arms against the federal government,"
In addition to first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime, Justin Mohn is now charged with three counts of terrorism, two additional counts of possession of an instrument of crime, and one count each of robbery, firearms not to be carried without a license, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal use of a communication facility, terroristic threats, and defiant trespassing.
Mohn is currently being held without bail in the Bucks County Correctional Facility, where he is awaiting a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 2.
