AR-15 Missing After Domestic Dispute In Bristol Twp.

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — A man is in custody following a domestic dispute on Fawn Lane on Wednesday night that involved an AR-15 rifle, which is missing, police said.

Bristol Township Police responded to Fawn Lane at 11:20 p.m. for a report of a domestic dispute involving an AR-15 rifle.

Police made contact with family members who fled the house. They reported that terroristic threats were made and that the man had a rifle.

Police officers set up a perimeter, instituted a shelter-in-place order, and called for the Bucks County South SWAT Team.

Bucks County Radio received two 911 calls reporting a man walking down the street with an AR-style rifle near the Kenwood section of Levittown.

Police eventually made contact with the suspect outside of the perimeter. He was unarmed at the time.

He was taken into custody without incident, transported to police headquarters, arraigned, and sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on $200,000 bail.

Police K9 conducted a search of the area in an attempt to locate the firearm, but were unsuccessful locating the rifle.

Anyone who lives in the area of the Farmbrook, Greenbrook, or Kenwood sections should check their property out of an abundance of caution.

The Bristol Township Police ask that anyone who locates a firearm should call 911 immediately and not handle the weapon in any way.
