Lower Bucks Co. Man Charged With Giving Guns To Felon

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A Lower Bucks County-based firearms dealer has been charged for allegedly illegally transferring two guns to a convicted felon who is prohibited from possessing firearms, authorities said.

Scott Liebowitz, 31, of Feasterville-Trevose, a federal firearms licensee, is charged with two counts of Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act (VUFA) - Illegally Transferring a Firearm, conspiracy, corrupt organizations, and unlawful use of a communication facility, Attorney General Dave Sunday announced.

Liebowitz sold two handguns to Nicholas Mimoso of Philadelphia — who is charged with the same offenses, and was also charged last year with drug and firearms trafficking, authorities said.

A criminal complaint stated that Liebowitz and Mimoso conspired to complete the purchase of the firearms using a third person as the documented purchaser.

Liebowitz then physically provided the guns to Mimoso, Sunday said.

Both Liebowitz and Mimoso were charged and arraigned late last week. Liebowitz’s bail was set at $100,000, and bail was set at $275,000 for Mimoso, who is currently incarcerated.

Mimoso was charged in March 2024 with several crimes regarding drug and firearms trafficking and possession. Investigators recovered 11 firearms and two illegal switches in that case.
