Morrisville Police Chief Voices Concerns about Hookah Bar

Published

on

At last months council meeting Morrisville Chief of Police George McClay cited recent issues at a business in a residential district, seeking guidance on how to proceed, citing public safety issues.

McClay during his monthly report to council said the business located at 630 Crown Street is becoming a problem – the Nebula Hooka Lounge  Multiple fights there recently and its starting to escalate, the chief said.

I’m just afraid the violence is going to escalate there and these fistfights are going to turn to gunfights.” said McClay.

McClay said he sent a memo to the Mayor Dave Rivella and council members on the issue.

“That is a business that does not work in a residential area” he said.

Council members discussed the issue for a short while, with some seeking an immediate fix, however that discussion was tampered down in tone when when borough solicitor Scott Holcomb said borough officials were very much aware of the issue and were in the process of performing their due diligence for coming up with possible resolutions.

Morrisville in recent years, has earned court victories with businesses violating local ordinances, such as a recovery house operating “illegally” on North Delmoor Avenue and a private home that came to be known as “The Party House” which was a private home owned by Morrisville resident Jean Augustin in which parties were held weekly.

“Neighbors should continue calling the police to report issues. The Manager, Solicitor, and Code Enforcement will work with the Police Chief and police reports to document issues and develop a paper trail to support whatever they can do within the confines of Borough ordinances and Pennsylvania law to bring the business either into compliance or have it shut down through the Court system. It will take time, it’s not a fast process, and with the Court system backed up more than normal due to Covid, residents need to be patient. It’s taken years to fix other issues through the Court system and I expect this situation to follow the same course” said Councilman Justin Bowers, who represents the ward which the hookah bar resides in.

McClay said last month police responded to approximately 25 complaints since January involving the business.

Borough officials declined to information pertaining the number of community complaints and code violations, f any, have been given to the owner of the popular night spot.

Owners of the business did not return requests for comment from the publication.

    Thank you for the update! Did the Mayor make any comments?

    I wonder if the establishment could pay for their own security or be charged for using MPD as their own personal security. Should the tax payers have to pay for what it costs to keep a place like that open and safe?

    Nebula Hookah Lounge has never reported any type of fights in the facility to the police department since the time we have been opened. We have three security guards that make sure nobody comes in with weapons checking Ids and making sure everything is under control. Most of those 25 complaints are coming from a racist neighbor that has issues with us being foreign. He calls for no reason most of the time. Nebula Hookah lounge has been working with the neighbors by cutting our hours and days of operations. We are not doing anything illegal and again we have never reported any type of fights or issues in our facility. Thank you!

      Raplh, they don’t have to be “reported” by the lounge. Anyone in the proximity of the business for example can. Have a nice day.

    So Ralph, if I crossed the river at 2 or 3 in the morning, went to your family’s home revved my car, blasted loud music, smashed bottles and threw trash everywhere, urinated and vomited in your parent’s garden, blew my horn, drunkenly stomped your mother’s flowers, would you be a racist for complaining about it? Calling others racist does not excuse your lack of common consideration for the rights of others in your ongoing flagrant disregard.

Published

on

A 31 year old Morrisville woman is heading to trial at the Justice Center in Doylestown after charges were held over- which include allegedly bringing weapon on to school property- at a preliminary hearing Tuesday.

Magisterial District Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel ruled there was enough evidence to sustain charges filed against Ashlynn A. Parker Paris connected to incident in which she and another woman brawled with each other at Morrisville Borough Police Headquarters after the suspect allegedly pointed a gun at her in front of  the Borough High School.

According to the probable cause, on Wednesday February 25, 2026 at approximately 9:20 a.m., officer Amanda DeLuca observed a physical altercation occurring at Morrisville Police Department Headquarters.

DeLuca walked into the municipal  building and observed one female, identified as Ashlynn Parker Paris, holding another female against the wall with her forearm. The two women were screaming at each other. At this time, police separated the two females, at which point, Parker Paris kept lunging at the victim and trying to push past police to get to her.

At this time, the two women were separated in separate rooms.

The victim said that this altercation started because Parker Paris’s daughter assaulted her daughter earlier at Morrisville High School.

The victim told police, according to court records, that when she picked her daughter up from the high school, Parker Paris walked towards the victim’s vehicle holding a firearm in her hand and stated “I’ll slap the s**t out of you”.

At this time, the victim fled the area, police said.

The victim arrived at Borough Police Department to file a report and  Parker Paris was already there.

The victim said Parker Paris was screaming at her which led to the suspect physically attacking her in which she suffered a small laceration on the right side of her face, the probable cause alleges.

DeLuca subsequently obtained CCTV footage which shows the altercation between the two women.

According to police,the footage shows the victim in her vehicle and Parker Paris walking out of the school, towards the victim’s vehicle, the two exchange words. Parker Paris and her daughter walk back to her vehicle. The victim reverses her vehicle and starts driving towards Grandview Avenue.  The CCTV footage then shows Parker Paris get out of her vehicle and raising her right hand which contained a handgun. Parker Paris then points the black handgun at the victim’s vehicle then gets back in her vehicle and drives off.

Further investigation led to the discovery that Parker Paris’s firearm was fully loaded during the time of the incident and was turned in to police after the incident, police said.

Parker Paris was represented by Shaka Mzee Johnson, Esq at today’s hearing.

Parker Paris is charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a weapon on school property, terroristic threats, simple assault and disorderly conduct.

She is due back in court on April 10 in Doylestown for formal arraignment.

A 23 year-old Trenton, New Jersey man is behind bars at Bucks County Jail charged for brutally beating his ex-girlfriend in front of a Morrisville Borough Pizzeria that was captured on video by two witnesses in April of last year, police say.

Police were dispatched on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at approximately 7:34 p.m., for a assault report at Nick’s Pizza, on E. Trenton Avenue. The 911 caller said a young female ran into the restaurant bleeding from the face and asked for help.

Police arrived on scene and went inside Nick’s Pizza to speak with the victim.

Officers observed the victim having a large bleeding gash on her left eyebrow. She also had blood all over her face, her chest and her left eye was swollen shut and bruised badly, according to court papers. The victim told police that she was in a great deal of pain and was terrified that the man who assaulted her would come back for her She identified her ex-boyfriend, Kashonn McGill as the perpetrator.

Police then spoke with witnesses still on scene who also captured on video part of McGill allegedly beating the victim on their cell phone video applications.

According to witness #1, she reported that a black male pulled the victim out of a red vehicle and began punching and kicking her.

According to witness #2, the video clearly shows a red Hyundai Sonata stopped in the traffic way of the parking lot in front of Nick’s Pizza with an unknown type white sedan positioned directly in front of the Sonata, nose to nose. A tall black male with medium length dreadlocks, wearing a light blue long sleeve top and grey shorts is seen punching and kicking the victim female on the ground in the face, head and back. The female is wearing a maroon top and matching leggings.

Witness #3’s video clip shows a woman with long, black hair, wearing a cropped jean jacket, black t-shirt and grey short shorts is seen trying to help the other female and fight off the male. The female being assaulted is screaming for help.

He opens the driver’s side door and attempts to shove the victim into the vehicle. The victim continues to scream loudly while W#3 attempts to pull her away from the male. The victim falls to the ground and the video stops.

Morrisville Borough Police were able to identify the victim as the female in the maroon outfit. And identified McGill through state records.

A short time later police arrived on scene at Capital Health Regional Hospital and spoke with the victim’s mother. She told police McGill had been allegedly stalking her daughter and she was able to obtain a Protection From Abuse order against him, but he continues to terrorize the victim.

Morrisville Police discovered Trenton Police had not served the PFA yet, court records show.

The victim’s mother identified McGill’s vehicle for police.

The officer then spoke to W#3, the other person involved in the incident. She said she and the victim were hanging out and had to drop something off at the victim’s house for her mother. They spotted McGill following them in his car (in New Jersey) and began driving around, trying to lose him. They decided to cross the Calhoun Street Bridge into Pennsylvania, and turned into Morrisville Shopping Center, stopping in front of Nick’s Pizza.

W#3 said that McGill began “tapping” her car with his as they were driving. There was no damage to the vehicle and she said she was not injured. Then, McGill, according to a witness got out of his vehicle, pulled the victim out of her vehicle (the red Sonata), and began to beat her.

The witness told police she was fearful of the victim’s life and that McGill allegedly said he was going to kill her.

According to the medics that transported the victim to the hospital, one medic believed she suffered an orbital fracture and possibly a jaw fracture. The medic told police that the victim said during transport to the hospital that McGill allegedly stole her purse and cell phone from her.

The victim’s mother called 911 to speak to the officer investigating the assault. She told police that her daughter’s (witness number 3) friend told her McGill allegedly said he was going to be waiting for her at her house when they got home. Police asked if the friend had the victim’s phone and she said she did, however, she said McGill still had the victim’s purse and refused to give it back money he believed was owed to him by the victim.

The victim denied owing McGill money, saying he is lying just to have an excuse to stalk her. Before police left, the officer tried again to see if the victim was feeling up to speaking with her, but she said she was in too much pain at that time, according to court records.

Police issued an arrest warrant for McGill last April.

He was arrested on Feb. 24, 2026 and arraigned by District Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel. She set bail at 10 percent of $500,000. He is charged with one felony count of aggravated assault, misdemeanor counts of simple assault, disorderly conduct, theft by deception, and related offenses.
