Local Man Accused of Threatening Victim With Baseball Bat Waives Hearing

JEFFERSON CO., Pa. (EYT) – A local man waived his hearing in court on Tuesday on charges related to an incident where he allegedly threatened a victim with a baseball bat.

Court documents indicate the following charges against 22-year-old Broc N. Marche, of Brockway, were waived for court on September 21:

– Terroristic Threats With Intent To Terrorize Another, Misdemeanor 1
– Disorderly Conduct Engage In Fighting, Summary
– Harassment – Subject Other to Physical Contact, Summary

The charges have been transferred to the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas.

Marche remains free on $5,000.00 unsecured bail.

The charges stem from an incident in Punxsutawney, Jefferson County, in August.

Details of the case:

According to a criminal complaint, around 4:00 p.m. on August 14, Punxsutawney Borough Police were dispatched to a residence on Foundry Street for a report of an assault.

According to the complaint, a known male victim told police that Broc Marche had threatened to “beat him with a baseball bat.”

The victim reportedly stated Marche also made other threats involving harming him with a baseball bat. He also provided police with a video of the incident.

The video showed Marche standing on the sidewalk in front of the victim’s home threatening the victim with a baseball bat, the complaint indicates.

In the video, there were also reportedly several other people trying to hold Marche back and taking the baseball bat from him.

When police spoke to March, he told them that the victim “records them when they are outside, and he is tired of it.” He also reportedly stated the victim laughed at him and said he “just had enough,” according to the complaint.

The charges were filed against Marche through Magisterial District Judge Jacqueline J. Mizerock’s office on August 30.
