Cops: Levittown Man Lies, Crashes, Flees in High Speed Chase, Jailed

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.

This incident highlights the importance of interagency cooperation and the dedication of our public safety professionals who serve our community every day.

Officials thanked Chief Perry of the Penndel Borough Police Department for organizing “the well-deserved recognition ceremony.”

A Philadelphia man with a 2017 conviction for sexual assault placing him on the state sexual offenders list for his lifetime is in Bucks County Custody after allegedly defying reporting requirements.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, Malachi Brant is a Tier 3 Pennsylvania Megan’s Law lifetime registrant having first registered in 2018, subsequent to a Philadelphia County conviction for sexual assault that same year.

Brant must comply with all conditions of his registration including regular quarterly verification windows.

According to the criminal complaint on July 22, 2025 Middletown Township Police Department received a notification from Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Megan’s Law Section that Brant had not reported for his July 7 2025 to July 16 2025 verification window. The last known address for Brant was 1990 Woodbourne Road Langhorne, which is the address for Pyramid Healthcare, a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.

On August 5, 2025 police proceeded to that address and spoke with Pyramid Healthcare employees who were advised of the Brant’s Megan Law status. Employees could not confirm  Brant’s presence due to HIPPA regulations whether or not the he was present. Police requested that if Brant were present, employees pass along a message that if he did not contact PSP Megan’s Law Section within 24 hours, a warrant for his arrest would be obtained. Employees advised that Brant were there, they would pass the message along.

Police made multiple attempts to contact Brant by phone unsuccessfully. PSP Megan’s Law Section advised that no other recent address was known for Brant. On August 8, 2025 police confirmed with PSP Megan’s Law Section that the Brant was still listed as “non-compliant”, according to court records.

A warrant was then issued for Brant on Feb. 20, 2026.  **He  was arraigned by District Judge Charles D. Jonas on a felony charge of failing to register with state police.

Jonas set bail at 10 percent of $75,000. Brant was unable to post bail and remanded to Bucks County Correctional Facility (BCCF).

Brant has a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 26 and currently has no attorney of record, according to online court records.

**Note: The criminal complaint does not reflect or say where or how police discovered Brant’s whereabouts and or where they took him into custody,

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

“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!”
