Morrisville Felon Convicted Of Illegal Gun, Drug Charges

MORRISVILLE, PA - A Bucks County man was convicted Tuesday of possessing five guns, including three ghost guns, that he was not allowed to have because of a prior felony conviction.

Andrew Richard Bizon, 34, of Morrisville, was charged last year with five felony counts of prohibited possession of a firearm, along with misdemeanor counts of possession of an instrument of crime, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. On Tuesday, following a two-day trial, a Bucks County jury found Bizon guilty of five felony counts of prohibited possession of a firearm and one misdemeanor count of possession of an instrument of crime.

Last August, detectives with the drug strike force executed a search and seizure warrant at Bizon’s residence in the 100 block of Harper Avenue. Bizon was detained after he exited the home.

In an upstairs bedroom, the search uncovered the two rifles and three fully assembled ghost guns, described as untraceable firearms without serial numbers. Detectives also seized approximately 1,000 rounds of ammunition and multiple magazines including high-capacity magazines, as well as drill and tool kits for firearm assembly.

Additionally, the search uncovered two bundles of heroin/fentanyl and three glassine bags containing additional heroin/fentanyl.

According to a criminal complaint, Bizon was interviewed and admitted to possessing the firearms despite being a person not to possess. A criminal history check revealed a 2010 conviction on a felony drug charge. Bizon also admitted he fired one of the guns he built behind his home in Morrisville.

Sentencing was deferred to a later date.
