A Bristol Township man was arrested Tuesday after being suspected of having several stolen guns and making threats.
Police in Warwick Township reported that around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers received information from Pennsylvania State Police that David Bruno Jasiulewicz, 32, of Bristol Township’s Levittown section, was a suspect in a burglary in Tioga County. Jasiulewicz was suspected of possessing several stolen long guns and handguns, authorities said.

“Troopers also informed us that Jasiulewicz was possibly suicidal and had threatened to kill family members and any police that tried to intervene. Troopers considered Jasiulewicz to be armed and dangerous,” Warwick Township police said.
Officers obtained information Jasiulewicz was at a business at an industrial park off Mearns Road in Warwick Township, police said.
Officers responded and spotted Jasiulewicz’s car. He then came outside and drove off, leading to a traffic stop nearby, police said.

“Jasiulewicz did not comply with instructions from our officers. He got out of his car and walked towards Mearns Roads, threatening violence against himself and police. Our officers utilized several less lethal options to subdue this dangerous suspect, and he was successfully arrested,” police said.
Warwick Township authorities thanked Warminster Township police and law enforcement assigned to an FBI task force for their assistance.

Jasiulewicz was arraigned Tuesday evening by on-call District Judge Maggie Snow on charges of possession of a firearm while prohibited, firearms not to be carried without a license, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. He was transported to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
Police said additional charges are expected to be filed by state police.
Jasiulewicz pleaded guilty to possession of explosive and incendiary material and harassment following a 2017 Warminster Township arrest. He was sentenced to probation and ordered to get mental health treatment, attend alcoholics anonymous classes, and take part in anger management classes.
