A Pennsylvania man accused of decapitating his father and showing the federal worker’s severed head during a politically charged tirade online is charged with murder.
The gruesome video circulated for hours on YouTube garnering more than 5,000 views before it was taken down. Justin Mohn, 32, now is being held without bond, also charged abuse of a corpse and other crimes.
During the video, Mohn railed against the Biden administration and the border crisis while declaring himself the new acting US president under martial law and decrying his father as a traitor. The victim, Michael Mohn, worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District.

A machete and a large kitchen knife were found in the bathtub. Officers also located the deceased male’s head inside of a plastic bag which was inside of a cooking pot in a first floor bedroom next to the bathroom,” the affidavit says
Police see the video posted on YouTube by Justin Mohn, the son of the victim and alleged killer.
In it, the man identifies himself as Mohn and apparently reads from a written statement and at one point holds up what appears to be a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag. He says his father, who was a federal employee for over 20 years, was a traitor to his country.
“The call to emergency dispatchers came from the victim’s wife. When officers arrived, they located the male deceased in the bathroom,”. “The victim’s adult son was not present when police arrived and left the area in his father’s vehicle.”
After fleeing the home, Mohn drove more than 100 miles, then broke into a Pennsylvania National Guard base with a gun.
“He was armed at the time but did not resist arrest,”.
It’s unclear what connection, if any, Mohn has to the base. He was not in the National Guard.
He was taken into custody at the Fort Indiantown Gap base – home of the Pennsylvania National Guard headquarters – shortly after 9:25 p.m. Tuesday.
Wednesday A judge ordered him held without bond, court records show. His next hearing is set for February 8.
As far back as 2016, Justin Mohn had shown signs of paranoia and believed the government had been “out to get him,” his former roommate Davis Rebhan stated. So it’s very clear that he had some issues arising years ago and didn’t seek any help.
I’m more concerned about how many others are out there just like him? Paranoid, and believing everything they hear/see on social media to be fact. This is just madness and it has to stop. Please seek medical attention if you have thoughts of harming yourself or others.
