A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father,
before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while
spouting right-wing conspiracy theories.
Justin Mohn, 32, is accused of killing his father, Michael Mohn, police
told NBC News. While police did not release the victimβs age, public
records show him to have been 68.
Mohn was taken into custody about 100 miles away from the crime scene on
suspicion of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an
instrument of crime with intent, according to a court docket released
early Wednesday.
He was arraigned at 4 a.m. and denied bail, Middletown Township Police
Capt. Pete Feeney said.
In the YouTube video, which was titled "Mohn's Militia - Call To Arms For
American Patriots" and is cited in a police complaint, Mohn is seen
wearing gloves and holding his father's head in a plastic bag. Later, the
head can be seen in a cooking pot.
Mohn says his father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to
him as a traitor, calling for the death of all federal officials and
attacking President Joe Biden's administration, the Black Lives Matter
movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists. YouTube removed the
video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted.

In a statement, a YouTube spokesperson said the video was taken down
because of its "strict policies prohibiting graphic violence and violent
extremism."
"The video was removed for violating our graphic violence policy and
Justin Mohnβs channel was terminated in line with our violent extremism
policies. Our teams are closely tracking to remove any re-uploads of the
video,β the statement said.
Prior federal lawsuits
Mohn has filed at least three lawsuits against federal agencies,
including the U.S. government, claiming they negligently caused him to
take out student loans between 2010 and his graduation from Pennsylvania
State University in 2014, a court filing shows.
He paid a filing fee of $2,000 and, after his claims were dismissed, he
sought to have the judge recused from the case because of what he claimed
was a personal bias and a conflicting personal financial interest.
In a legal opinion on the case, the judge called the accusations
βentirely speculative and without factual basisβ and said Mohnβs
complaints were the βinaccurate allegations of a disappointed college
graduate.β
Mohn also sued his former employer, Progressive Insurance, in 2020,
alleging wrongful termination and sex discrimination against men. He was
hired as a customer service representative in October 2016 and was fired
in August 2017 after he kicked open the facilityβs doors, court records
show.
A district court ruled that Mohn failed to establish a case of
discrimination.
When Mohn was filing his lawsuit, his parents were giving him about $540
a month, he indicated in the court filing. Shortly before Progressive
fired him, he had taken a trip to Vegas to see if he could pursue a music
career, according to the lawsuit.
He represented himself in the lawsuits.
Mohn was highly active on social media, where he promoted his self-
released music and books, including dystopian science fiction.
A nonfiction book released via Amazon in 2017, titled "The Revolution
Leaderβs Survival Guide," contains the transcript of a letter to then-
President Donald Trump warning of "a peaceful revolution helped led by
the author if positive change does not come to America and the world
soon."
Gruesome scene
The suspect's mother, Denice Mohn, found his father's body and called
police around 7 p.m. Tuesday.
When police arrived at the family home in Middletown Township, they found
Michael Mohn in a downstairs bathroom, decapitated, with βa large amount
of blood around him,β according to a police complaint. A machete and a
large kitchen knife were found in the bathtub.
Police found Michael Mohnβs head inside a plastic bag in a cooking pot in
a bedroom next to the bathroom, according to the complaint. They also
found bloody, clear rubber gloves in another bedroom. In the YouTube
video, the suspect is seen wearing similar gloves.

Denice Mohn told police that sheβd last been home at 2 p.m. and that her
son was the only person there with his father. When she returned to the
home that evening shortly before calling police, her son was missing
along with a car registered to her husband that had been in the driveway,
according to the complaint.
Police later stopped Mohn in Fort Indiantown Gap, about 100 miles away
from the crime scene, driving the car that was missing from the family
home. Fort Indiantown Gap, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has a National
Guard training facility.
βWe didnβt know where he was going and what his intentions were when he
left here,β Feeney said. βFortunately, we were able to get a location
based on his cellphone.β
The phone pinged near the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery and again just
outside the National Guard base, where police found the car outside,
Angela Watson of Pennsylvania's Department of Military and Veterans
Affairs, which oversees the National Guard, said Wednesday.
Mohn had jumped over a fence and entered the base, she said.
The National Guard and the Pennsylvania State Police were both contacted
to help find Mohn, and officers took him into custody "without incident"
around 9:25 p.m., Watson said. She added that Mohn was "armed with a
firearm." No one was injured when he was on the base.
Middletown Township Detective Lt. Stephen Forman said police had had a
couple of prior contacts with the suspect, some as far back as 10 years
ago and some more recent.
There was no attorney listed for Mohn in court records.
