Luke Christian Grass, 28, has previously been charged with the same offense by other police agencies.
A Pipersville man with an active warrant for failure to appear in Bucks County court for possessing a firearm without a license was arrested and charged with the offense, as well as drug misdemeanors, on Ridge Road in New Hope earlier this month.
Luke Christian Grass, 28, of the 400 block of East Dark Hollow Road, Pipersville, was charged by Buckingham Township Police with felony firearms not to be carried without a license, as well as misdemeanor courts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, per court records.
Grass remains incarcerated at Bucks County jail on 10% of $50,000 cash bail, per court documents, and awaits a Nov. 14 preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge Maggie Snow.
On Oct. 6, at 3:08 a.m., police were called to the 5200 block of Ridge Road for a male on scene that had an active warrant, per the affidavit. Upon arrival, police found Grass in possession of a firearm in the backseat of a white GMC Terrain that was on the property, police allege.
A silver .357 revolver in a brown holster was on the floorboard by Grass’s feet, police said. Grass admitted he was carrying the gun and that it is owned by his father, per the complaint. A check revealed Grass does not possess a license to carry a firearm, police said.
A search during the arrest found a glass pipe with white residue and a black vial with suspected methamphetamine, police said.
Grass has three other active cases at the Magisterial District Court level in Bucks County: He was charged Sept. 19 with misdemeanor carrying firearms without a license by Nockamixon Township Police; Sept. 25 with felony carrying firearms without a license and drug offenses by Warrington Township Police, and Oct. 9 with felony drug possession by Bedminster Township Police from an Aug. 20 incident. He awaits trial at the Common Pleas level on felony carrying a firearm without a license charge from the Pennsylvania State Police, stemming from an May 2024 incident in Tinicum Township, per court records.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
