Middletown Man Who Barricaded Himself in July, Pointed Gun at Police
A Middletown man with an undisclosed but very apparent mental health issue who barricaded himself for hours in his parents’ home in July and raised a 9mm Glock handgun aiming at police officers has been charged with felony terroristic threats and related misdemeanors, according to court records.
On Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at approximately 2:15 p.m., Middletown Township Police Officer Wagner responded to Harbor Road in Levittown to meet with complainants, Maureen Bonfiglio-Mee and Michael Mee, regarding their son, Shaun. The parents reported that Shaun had locked himself in his bedroom, was possibly armed with a firearm, and shouted that someone else had a gun, says the probable cause.
On arrival, police entered the residence, and gave loud verbal commands for Shaun to exit the bedroom with his hands in the air. Shaun responded “Get the f**k back” and continued to ramble incoherently for several minutes. During this time, Shaun stated that he owned multiple firearms, including a Glock 26 handgun loaded with 9mm ammunition and a 10 round magazine. He was then heard racking the firearm as if chambering a round to shoot. For safety reasons, police exited the residence, according to court records.

At approximately 7:30 p.m., the man’s father requested Officer Dan Heyduk accompany him to the front door of the residence to close it. As they approached, Officer Heyduk observed Shaun sitting on a couch in the living room. Heyduk announced his presence, at which point Shaun shouted “Get the f**k out, you’re dead”. Heyduk and Michael Mee immediately retreated to cover. Over the course of the next hour, Shaun exited the house multiple times, yelling at officers on scene.
At approximately 8:15 p.m., Shaun exited the residence armed with a loaded Glock 26 9mm handgun and allegedly raised the firearm in the direction of officers on two separate occasions and demanded that police shoot him. Despite initial noncompliance, he ultimately complied with repeated verbal commands and dropped the firearm to the ground. He was then taken into custody without further incident and was subsequently taken to a behavioral health facility for treatment, police said in a social media release.
The Levittown man, according to online court records, is represented by Schatz & Stancu LLP who will be on hand for his November court appearance.

Middletown Recognizes Public Safety Professionals for Life-Saving Efforts
Middletown Township recently recognized public safety professionals for life-saving efforts last year.
In November 2025, members of Middletown Township Fire & Emergency Services were operating at a shed fire in the Borough of Penndel when the Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad was dispatched for a reported unconscious patient at Advance Auto Parts.
Special Service 244, operated by Firefighter/EMT Riley Collins, responded alongside Officer Hillary Kloiber of the Penndel Borough Police Department to assist the medic unit.
Officer Kloiber arrived first, with firefighter Collins arriving moments later, and located a male patient in cardiac arrest. CPR was immediately initiated, and additional resources were requested. Shortly thereafter, Medic 168, Special Service 8, and officers from the Langhorne Borough Police Department arrived on scene.

Fire, EMS, and Police personnel worked seamlessly and simultaneously, providing high-quality patient care through transport to St. Mary Medical Center.
Due to the rapid response, coordinated teamwork, and effective life-saving interventions by all involved, the patient made a full recovery and has since returned to normal life.

Local Police Warn Motorists, Trucks Drivers to Clear Ice & Snow Or Else …..
Snow and ice are still clinging to vehicles despite snowfall ending hours ago.
Middletown Township Police posted a stark reminder of what can happen when motorists don’t follow the law meant to protect motosists, that came a result of snow/ice falling off a truck/vehicle
On Christmas Day in 2005, Christine Lambert was killed by a chunk of ice that blew off the top of a box truck outside of Jim Thorpe in Carbon County.
Middletown Township Police posted a stark reminder of what can happen when motorists don’t follow the law meant to protect motosists.
“Christine’s Law” was enacted in 2022 and now allows officers to write citations for those putting others at risk. The verbiage of the law is pictured below
Middletown authorities noted the relevant language of the statute below in their Meta page post

“Remove all ice and all snow from your vehicle before going on the road or you could face citations.”
“If we are being honest though, it shouldn’t be the citation that motivates you to complete this task. Be a responsible driver in all seasons and if you can help an elderly, disabled, or vertically challenged neighbor, we encourage that too!”
