A man who allegedly made “concerning statements” about Temple University while buying ammunition in Tullytown earlier this week was arrested.

Patrick Buhler, 29, a current resident of Morrisville Borough who is listed in public records as previously residing in Northampton County, was arrested early Saturday morning at his home on Moreau Street by law enforcement who were waiting for him.

Local, county, state, and federal law enforcement were involved in the investigation, Tullytown police said.

According to court papers, Buhler went to the Walmart in Tullytown and purchased .223 ammunition, which was created for rifles.

While at the store, a Walmart employee heard Buhler talk to a customer about Temple University and their campus security, their response time, and the fact that he bought 20 bullets because he knew the university police wore bullet resistant vests, police said.

An officer spoke with a customer at Walmart who said Buhler asked them about Temple University’s security and police.

Both witnesses told police that Buhler said they would see something on the news related to him.

After Buhler’s arrest Saturday, he told investigators that the conversations in Walmart were “one big f**k up on my part.” He said that he didn’t know what he was thinking when he insinuated “violent things,” court papers stated.

Due to the comments that were allegedly made, Tullytown police contacted Temple University authorities.

From the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office:

While investigating the case, Tullytown Borough Police found Buhler had visited multiple Walmart stores where he made additional purchases of ammunition, knives and small-cylinder propane bottles, as well as a two-way radio and binoculars.

“We’re aware of the situation and cooperating with local authorities,” Christopher A. Vito, the associate director of public relations for Temple University, told LevittownNow.com.

In April, Buhler was arrested by Flemington, New Jersey, police along with another man. He was found with rifles, handguns, large-capacity magazines, and multiple rounds of ammunition, according to a TapInto Flemmington/Raritan report and police.

Buhler was arraigned by on-call District Judge William Benz Saturday around noon on charges of terroristic threats and harassment. He was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $100,000 bail.
