Prosecutors in Pennsylvania added terrorism charges to the man accused of decapitating his father and showing the severed head in a YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories and encouraging violence against federal officials, a press release said.

Justin Mohn, 32, already faces first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse charges. On Thursday, prosecutors added three counts of terrorism, two additional counts of possession of an instrument of crime, and one count each of robbery, firearms not to be carried without a license, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, criminal use of a communication facility, terroristic threats, and defiant trespassing.

Mohn is accused of shooting his father, 68-year-old Michael F. Mohn, and then chopping his head off at their home in Middleton Township. On Jan. 30, Justin Mohn recorded a 14-minute, 34-second video titled “Mohn’s Militia — Call to Arms for American Patriots,” according to a probable cause arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime. As he allegedly held his father’s head in a plastic bag for the camera, he said, “Mike Mohn is in hell for being a traitor to his country.” Mike Mohn was a retired federal employee.
