A man was arrested at a National Guard base after allegedly decapitating his father and posting a video online with the severed head amid a political rant. The disturbing video was taken down after gaining over 5,000 views on YouTube. Justin Mohn, 32, is facing charges of murder, abuse of a corpse, and more, according to court documents in Pennsylvania. He is currently being held without bond, per CNN.
During an online outburst, Mohn identifies his father as a federal employee and expresses strong criticism towards the Biden administration and the border crisis. He proclaimed himself as the acting U.S. president under martial law. YouTube removed the video due to its explicit violence.
Officials responded to a report of a deceased male in Middletown Township. The victim was identified as Michael F. Mohn, and a machete and large kitchen knife was discovered in the bathtub. A video posted on YouTube by Justin Mohn, the son of the victim and alleged assailant, was mentioned in the police affidavit.
In the YouTube video, the suspect, who revealed himself as Mohn reads from a written announcement and displays what looks like a bloodied head in a bag. He later accused his father, a federal employee of 20 years, of being a traitor to the US.
During the investigation, authorities discovered rubber gloves with possible blood stains. They confirmed that the gloves, decapitated head, and room matched those seen in the YouTube video. YouTube stated that it strictly prohibits violent content and extremism.
Mohn left his home and traveled over 100 miles before forcibly entering a Pennsylvania National Guard base with a gun, as confirmed by Angela Watson, a spokesperson for the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. He was later apprehended.
