Why was Justin Mohn arrested?
Justin Mohn was arrested and then charged with murder and abuse of a corpse for allegedly decapitating his father before showing what was purportedly his head on YouTube.
The arrest came after Mohn purportedly posted a video on YouTube showing himself holding up the severed head. Mohn claimed his father was a federal employee – his name has been reported as Philly Burbs although this has not been confirmed by Daily Express US.
The gruesome discovery unfolded on the evening of January 30, 2024, when officers responded to reports of a decapitated body in the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive in Levittown, Pennsylvania. The victim, identified as a man in his 60s, was found dead in an upstairs bathroom by his wife upon her return home.
According to Middletown Township Police Chief Joe Bartorilla, the suspect, Justin Mohn, allegedly fled the scene in his father’s vehicle. Mohn, who referred to himself as a militia leader in a disturbing YouTube video, identified the victim as his father and accused him of being a traitor to the country for his employment as a federal worker for 20 years.
The chilling video, which garnered at least 5,000 views before being removed, also featured Mohn expressing grievances against President Joe Biden and making threats against multiple federal agencies. Despite fleeing the scene, Mohn was apprehended at Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County, approximately 100 miles away from the crime scene.
Authorities were able to track Mohn’s whereabouts through his cell phone signal. While the motive for the killing remains under investigation, Mohn was arraigned early Wednesday morning and is currently being held without bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on February 8, 2024, at 9am.

What do we know about his past?
Mohn’s history is marked by legal battles, struggling to maintain a steady income and the alleged expression of extremist ideologies.
According to the Daily Mail, Mohn relocated back to his parents’ $390,000 home, where he resided with his brother Zachary, 35, and sister Stephanie, 38, following his dismissal from a job in Colorado for forcefully opening an office door. Despite graduating from Penn State with a degree in business management in 2014, Mohn encountered difficulty in maintaining steady employment over the past decade.
Mohn’s alleged extremist ideologies came to light through his authorship of a pamphlet titled America’s Coming Bloody Revolution. Within its pages, Mohn advocates for violence and upheaval, particularly targeting perceived “traitors” within American society, including family members and older generations.
The pamphlet, published on Amazon Kindle in August 2020, contains chapters titled Why a Violent Revolution is Inevitable and How Revolution Can Be Successful. Shockingly, Mohn had also promoted this material on his personal Facebook page, according to screenshots obtained by Newsweek.
The pamphlet’s content expresses Mohn’s alleged radical beliefs, as he discussed the necessity for Americans to resort to violent means to preserve their freedom and independence. Mohn also condemned parents, teachers, and older generations, whom he accuses of contributing to societal decay and enslavement.
In another section of the pamphlet, Mohn wrote about his legal struggles, which he claims arose after his dismissal from a position at an insurance company. According to Mohn, the termination was allegedly motivated by discrimination, as he asserts being labeled as a “top-performing, overeducated, and overqualified male employee.”
Moreover, in 2022, Mohn initiated legal action against the Department of Education, contending that they “negligently and fraudulently induced him to borrow money to pay for his education without sufficiently warning him of the possibility that he would face a difficult job market and could be unable to pay back his [student] loan.”
Court documents revealed Mohn’s assertion that the obligation to repay his student loans inflicted “quality of life damages.” Despite his efforts, the complaint was ultimately dismissed.
Reflecting on these legal battles, Mohn expressed a bleak outlook, suggesting that his experiences indicate there is “no peaceful solution for the youth to escape debt-based enslavement, unemployment, and ultimately imprisonment.”
He likened the situation to “the Soviet Union’s feared Gulag prison labor system in which entire states and countries were essentially turned into concentration camps.”
Before his arrest, Mohn’s online presence extended to platforms like Amazon, where he showcased music albums and books.
Mohn has released eight books under his name. These publications include titles such as The Second Messiah, described as “loosely based on him.” Additionally, Mohn has dabbled in music production, creating Spotify songs that reflect on his struggles with debt, his identity as a white man, and purported conflicts with his father, whom he claims was envious and obstructive of his success.
Other titles include They Will Burn This Book, The Punishing, Poems I Wrote While Stoned, The Kingdom of Dark, The Pink, Dark Ages of the Future, and The Revolution Leader’s Survival Guide.
His Amazon profile read: “His life story is unbelievable and there may not be enough words to describe him, but one may begin to understand his complexity and experiences through his art.
“He only wishes to bring positive change to the world.”
