Disturbing YouTube video emerges
On Tuesday evening, Justin Mohn, the suspect, posted a 14-minute video on YouTube claiming to display his father’s decapitated head. Chief Bartorilla mentioned, “We got called to the home and officers went in and discovered the father upstairs deceased.”
Alarming claims in the video
Mohn, self-proclaimed “Commander” of Mohn’s Militia, labeled his father a traitor on the video, asserting that he’s now in hell for eternity. The video, titled “Mohn’s Militia and a ‘Call to Arms’,” had over 5,000 views before being removed by YouTube.

Chief Bartorilla refrained from providing details but mentioned that investigators have seen the video. He added that the police are in contact with the victim’s wife to inform family members before they encounter the distressing content.
Community response
The police chief acknowledged the community’s concern, stating, “We’re getting contacted by some people in the community that know us, and know him and his family. And we’re hearing a lot. Obviously, he’s well known in the community just by the calls we’re getting.”
