Bedford County Man Facing New Charges

A Bedford County man accused of a June stabbing at a Dollar Store is facing new charges for allegedly stalking a relative.

Police say last week 43 year old Joseph Batenga Sr, of Breezewood, left an intimidating note on a relative’s porch.

Police say Batenga was told in august to stay away from the man’s property but has drove past multiple times making threatening gestures.

Batenga was charged in June after he allegedly cut a man with a knife at a Dollar General in Breezewood.

He is charged with attempted Homicide in that case, and his latest charges include misdemeanors for stalking and defiant trespass.

He is being housed in the Bedford County Correctional Facility
