A man has been arrested after sharing a video to YouTube of himself allegedly holding up his father's severed head.
Yesterday (January 30), Justin Mohn took to his YouTube channel, claiming he'd killed and beheaded his own father.

The claim followed soon after police found the body of a headless man in his 60s at a house in Levittown, Middletown Township in Bucks County.
In the YouTube video titled 'Mohn's Militia - Call To Arms for American Patriots' - which has since been removed from the platform - Mohn held up a plastic bag which appeared to contain a severed head inside, claiming it was his father's. The head was later pictured inside a cooking pot.
The 32-year-old also took the opportunity to blast President Joe Biden, the wider US government and threatening 'multiple federal agencies,' as per ABC7 Chicago as well as his father for being an alleged federal employee.

He also attacked members of the LGBTQIA+ community and Black Lives Matter supporters resolving he is 'now officially the acting president of America under martial law'.
Bucks County District Attorney's office said in a press release officers were called to a residence in the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive in Levittown at around 7:00pm yesterday evening by 'the victim's wife'.
"When officers arrived, they located the male deceased in the bathroom," it adds. "The victim’s adult son was not present when police arrived and left the area in his father’s vehicle. He was located and taken into custody hours later."

A police complaint filed in Bucks County, Pennsylvania adds the body of the 'deceased male' was found in the 'first floor bathroom' and had 'his head removed from his body' with 'a large amount of blood around him,' NBC News reports.
While the victim's son was not present when police first arrived at the property, police Chief Joseph Bartorilla told reporters he was later found in Fort Indiantown Gap near Harrisburg, Pennslyvania and arrested at around 11:30pm.
Several hours after the over-14-minute video was posted, YouTube took it down.

A YouTube spokesperson told UNILAD: "YouTube has strict policies prohibiting graphic violence and violent extremism. The video was removed for violating our graphic violence policy and Justin Mohn’s channel was terminated in line with our violent extremism policies. Our teams are closely tracking to remove any re-uploads of the video."
Mohn has since been charged with possession an instrument of crime with intent, murder in the first degree and abuse of a corpse.
He has been denied bail and his preliminary hearing is set to take place on February 8.

The district attorney office's press release concludes: "This is an active and ongoing investigation and more information will be released as it becomes available."
UNILAD has contacted Bucks County District Attorney’s Office for comment.
