Doylestown Borough considering relaxed marijuana penalty
If adopted, it could be the first of its kind in Bucks County.
Borough Manager John Davis said the public safety subcommittee tasked him with looking into other similar ordinances put in place in other municipalities in the state to get an idea of what one could look like in the borough.
The subcommittee, which is made up of four borough council members, discussed the idea Wednesday, according to Davis. It was the first time they had floated the idea.
“This will be pursued further, he said.
Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said he was not aware of any municipalities in the county with such ordinances.
BENSALEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub announced charges Friday in the November 2, 2020 murder of Dr. James Sowa.
Weintraub said 22-year-old Joseph Robert O Boyle, of Bensalem, has been charged with one count of criminal homicide, burglary, criminal trespass, and possession of an instrument of crime.
Authorities said O Boyle entered Sowa s chiropractic office and hit him on the back of the head with a blunt object, and beat his jaw with an object.
Sowa s records showed O Boyle had been a patient of his in September 2020, and witnesses testified O Boyle was upset about the treatment he received that day for jaw pain.
“He had never harmed a person. He certainly didn’t deserve this.”
According to the grand jury testimony, O’Boyle’s mother said he had begun complaining about pain in his jaw in February of 2019. In September of last year, Sowa treated him for the pain, Weintraub said.

However, he subsequently complained “incessantly” to family members that his jaw pain had gotten worse and “improperly, incorrectly and in a misguided way” blamed Sowa, the district attorney said.
O’Boyle went on to kill Sowa in a “poetic, perverse irony,” motivated by a “jaw for a jaw” view of revenge, Weintraub said. The 22-year-old was also charged with assaulting a detective during the course of the investigation into Sowa’s killing.
