A Pennsylvania man is in police custody after allegedly decapitating his own father before taking to YouTube to show off his crime.
Responding to a report of a death just after 7:00PM on Tuesday, police discovered the beheaded body of Michael Mohn in a Middletown Township home, as reported by NBC News.
Middletown Police Chief Joe Bartorilla provided a statement outside the crime scene late Tuesday night, stating: "We got called to the home, and officers went in and discovered the father upstairs deceased."
The horrifying scene unfolded on the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive, where officers found the headless remains in the upstairs bathroom, according to police sources cited by Fox29.
Authorities quickly moved to detain Justin Mohn, the victim's youngest son, locating his vehicle two hours away in Lebanon County.
Mohn allegedly shared gruesome footage of the aftermath of the murder on YouTube.
The 14-minute video, titled "Mohn’s Militia – Call to Arms for American Patriots," was posted on YouTube and has since been taken down.
In the disturbing clip, Mohn lifted up his father's severed head in a bloody plastic bag, claiming the victim was a "federal employee of over 20 years."
"He is now in hell for an eternity as a traitor to his country," Mohn states in the video, launching into a rant against the government. He then called for the unification of "militias" across the United States to target and kill federal officials "on sight."
Mohn, who claims to be the commander of America’s network of militias in the video, expressed vehement views against migrants, the Biden administration, the LGBTQ community, Black Lives Matter, and "far-left woke mobs."
He called for the public execution of FBI agents, IRS employees, US Marshals, federal judges, border control officers, and more, accusing them of betraying their country.
During the video, Mohn expressed that "Satan wants America to fall so he can unleash his plan on the world."
Stating that he could be the first "unanimously elected [presidential] candidate since George Washington," he went on: "I was betrayed by the FBI, the federal courts, and my own family, because there are people who believe I am the Messiah. This belief that I am the Messiah is why you have never heard this story on the news, because it would spread that belief.
"I'm not saying I am the Messiah, as I would never compare myself to Jesus Christ. I'm just saying, that's why I was betrayed."
Police Chief Bartorilla, in response to the disturbing content, stated that investigators had seen the video but declined to comment on its specifics or the nature of the remains found in the home.
According to a Middletown Township Police Department criminal docket, Mohn now faces charges of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possessing instruments of crime, per the New York Post.
The police chief reportedly advised the victim's wife to notify Mohn's siblings about the situation before they come across the video or it is sent to them.
"We're getting contacted by some people in the community that know us, and know him and his family," Bartorilla shared. "And we're hearing a lot. Obviously, he's well known in the community just by the calls we're getting."
Detective Lieutenant Stephen Forman from Middletown Township Police disclosed that they had a few prior contacts with Mohn, ranging from a decade ago to more recent interactions.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
