One of the many issues, Morrisville Borough Chief of Police Rich Ciampa said after taking over, was to confront proactively the car theft issues in the borough and some of those proactive measures implemented paid off recently as a trio of officers -Amanda Deluca, Dominic Chrzanowski, with Corporal Lew Halas- shut down a chop shop on W. Bridge Avene. 

According to court papers,  on Thursday, January 16th, at approximately 11:47 a.m all three officers were in the area of the side parking lot of 500 block of W Bridge St following a complaint that was generated the week prior of stolen auto parts pinging on facebook marketplace in the above area.

Police observed multiple “sports cars” resembling the samе tуре of vehicle that the complainant had stolen from her, although they were not her vehicle, police continue to research the auto parts pinging their investigative methods and sources. 

While on scene, a male identified as Dierre A. Phelps arrived at the W. Bridge Street address in a silver Nissan sedan and claimed to be the owner/operator of the mechanic shop, said police in the probable cause affidavit. 

On the rear of a Chevy Camaro parked next to the shop was a faulty Delaware temp tag of XQ338024 which did not have a full 17 digit VIN on it, police said. 

Halas asked Phelps if that vehicle had any affiliation to him, and he pulled the keys out of his pocket and explained that an unknown person dropped off the vehicle and wanted work completed. Phelps provided no name or contact info for the alleged owner. Phelps unlocked the car and gave police consent to obtain the VIN. When the vehicle door was opened by police all of the VIN tags were removed from the vehicle, police said. Officers noted in court papers  a VIN etched into the driver side bottom corner of the actual glass on the windshield of 1G1FJ1R60M0105348 which revealed the vehicle to be reported stolen out of Wallingford Connecticut. 

Phelps also gave police consent to go inside the garage at the W. Bridge St property to confirm there were no stolen vehicles and/or vehicle parts inside. Phelps willingly opened the garage door and police discovered a blue Chevy Camaro VIN:1G1FG1R73G0132037 which had the entire engine area cut out along with the interior #27 and was also listed as stolen out of Middlesex NJ, the criminal complaint says.

Magisterial District Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel arraigned Phelps,  January 16  on felony counts of owning/operating a chop shop, transports, sells, transfers, purchases, etc illegally obtained from chop shop, multiple receiving stolen property counts and one other theft related charge.  Phelps spent approximately eight days in county jail and was released this past Friday after a bail reduction request was approved by a common pleas court judge. He is scheduled to appear for a court hearing to answer to the charges on February 4.

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. The male then grabs the female in maroon by the hair, pulls her up off the ground, then bear hugs her from behind and drags her over to the white vehicle. 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.
