Correction: An earlier updated version of this story was incorrect, and the story has been edited. The arrest previously reported in the update was made by the U.S. Marshal Service and Bucks County Sheriff’s Office, but it did not happen in Bristol Township. The arrest ironically occurred just off New Falls Road but in Falls Township around the same time as the Bristol Township incident. While there was a raid and arrest in Bristol Township off New Falls Road on Woerner Avenue, the police have not responded for comment despite phone and email attempts. We apologize for the confusion and hope to provide an update tomorrow.
