Conrail Says New Operations Directive Recently Implemented Will Calm Noise, Idling Complaints in Bristol

Bristol Borough Police arrested and jailed a man who stands accused of threatening police and harassing 911 emergency operators.

*David J. Chichilitti arraigned James F. Dicicco, 50, on one felony count of false calls to 911, reckless endangerment, terroristic threats, and three additional misdemeanor offenses on March 5. Dicicco was remanded to the custody of Bucks County Correctional Facility as he was unable to post the 10 percent of $45,000.00 bail set by Chichilitti.

According to the probable cause, on November 30, 2025, Dicicco allegedly made numerous phone calls to the non-emergency phone line of Bucks County Communications (911) utilizing two phone numbers 215-317-**** and 610-828-**** directed for/towards Bristol Borough Police Department.

The calls were not of an emergency or non-emergency nature, police said and were made explicitly to harass communication staff and threaten Levitsky and Bristol Borough Police Department members.

The calls started at about 11 p.m. on November 30, 2025 and ended on December 1, 2025 at about 4:30 a.m.

The calls were logged with initial remarks of the calls noted in the criminal complaint as noted below.

November 30, 2025:
At 11:20 p.m., Dicicco called Bucks County Communications and identified himself “Go fuck yourself Jim.” Remarks in the call: “Eat a D**k …. NFl.”

At 11:24 p.m., the caller ID said, “Patrick Dicicco” and 610-828-****. “Patrick Dicicco, says Ofc. Levitsky, lives on Radcliffe Street in the little blue house right behind the bridge and he’ll (Dicicco) be there tonight.”

At 11:34 p.m., Dicicco called the non-emergency line. “Asking someone familiar to call him, said 24 PD could “Suck-a-D**k” and was irate/curt at intake. Intake terminated non-emergency call after he said dispatch could “Suck-a-D**k” and was a f**king moron:

December 1, 2025:
At 1:27 a.m., “Tell Officer Levitsky he is going to get suckered punched at the stroll and to be on the lookout.”

At 1:38 a.m., “Making threats that officer needs to watch his back.”

At 2:02 a.m. “Compl (Dicicco) call backed requesting dispatch who said he made threats against officer and then was irate that dispatch couldn’t transfer to pd .. in between cursing/yelling, compl stated to tell Ofc. Levitsky he will gladly meet him., call was transferred to supervisor.”

At 2:14 a.m., “Angry that Sgt. called him from a blocked number and alleges he was threatened by federal agents.”

At 2:28 a.m., “Called for Sgt. numerous times.”

At 2:32 a.m., “Requested the Sgt’s name and badge number .. wanted Bristol Borough number … says he hopes (911) intakes’ mother dies and Officer Levitsky’s mother dies.”

At 2:37 a.m., “Calling and apologizing and then stated Sgt. threatened him stating he is homeless and currently living on his sailboat .. told intake “suck my d**k” yet again .. flipped back and forth between saying he can call all night and that he won’t be calling again., keeps asking for direct number to 2452.”

At 2:57 a.m., “Was calling the Sgt. names .. said that the officers “should watch their backs” saying they can “suck my dick” .. told intake to “Fuck off.”

At 3:03 a.m., “Tell that (racial slur) he ain’t catching me at shift change- tell your Sgt. to call me now.”

At 3:33 a.m., “Irate he requested a call from Sgt., says he was threatened by a federal agent.”

At 3:37 a.m., “Irate he  requested for a call from Sgt., says he was threatened by a federal agent.”

Levitsky and Faight were notified of calls directed towards and for them.

Because of the nature of the calls, threats and prior contact with Dicicco, Bristol Borough Police Department and Bristol Township Police Department maintained surveillance of Levitsky overnight because of potential threats to his safety and well being, investigators said in the probable cause.

Dicicco, according to police, beginning in October of 2024 and continuing to December 1, 2025 has been threatening and violent towards police officers and the general public when under the influence of drugs, alcohol and due to apparent mental health issues.

*Dicicco on the same date was arraigned in a second case by Bristol Borough Police on charges of simple assault, terroristic threats, public drunkenness and related offenses connected to a incident that occurred on Oct 11.

Dicicco, according to online court records is represented by Gregg David Shore, Esq. of  Pinnacle Legal Services in Bensalem.

Editor’s Note: It is not clearly outlined or identified why Mr. Dicicco, who is from Blue Bell, PA targeted Borough Police or what his connection to Bristol is.

Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick a Republican (PA -1) attended Monday night’s Bristol Borough Council meeting to announce he secured a $2 million federal grant Bristol’s new yet to be built centralized consolidated fire station.

“Last night, I was proud to attend the Bristol Borough Council meeting to formally deliver great news: $2 million in federal funding has been secured for Bristol’s new consolidated fire station” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

The congressman said he and and borough officials had been meeting in recent months to discuss the needs of the of borough first responders. And that  one issue was clear: firefighters were operating out of four aging facilities that no longer meet the demands of modern emergency response

Fitzpatrick said a single, centralized fire station that will strengthen coordination, improve efficiency, and reduce response times when seconds matter most was identified as a priority was included in the FY26 federal funding package so we could bring this vision to life.

The new centralized station will replace the outdated facilities with a modern, centralized hub for fire and emergency response, supporting both volunteer and career firefighters, officials have said.

The new fire station will include on-site living accommodations and with plans to house a Bucks County Rescue Squad substation, strengthening readiness and emergency coverage across the Borough and throughout Bucks County, officials said.

Fitzpatrick said, his office is working across the aisle so to speak, with state Rep Tina Davis’ office to secure as much funding as possible so there will be no cost to Bristol taxpayers.

Davis and state Senator Steve Santarsiero, just before the holiday season kicked off into full gear last year, announced a $1 million grant for the fire station.

Officials have estimated a $1o million price tag for the new centralized fire station. So far from state and federal grants the Borough has $3.7 million to get the project started.

Bristol Borough Fire Association President Steve Reeves said Borough first responders were truly grateful tp Fitzpatrick for his work on securing the funds for the station.

Reeves said the station will enhance public safety in Bristol Borough

Council President Ralph DiGuiseppe said he was determined to get the project moving forward.

“Just just for the record, we don’t have a firehouse design yet, but we’re very close. We’re working on a few issues,” he said.

Council President Ralph DiGuiseppe said he was determined

The funds come from the 2026 fiscal year federal funding package recently passed by Congress.

“I can’t think of a more worthy project” Fitzpatrick said.
