A Brandywine man is in custody after an alleged stabbing left a homeowner with serious injuries.
Roy D. Pena-Bautista, 40, was arrested on five felonies of attempted first- and second-degree murder, first-degree assault, home invasion and third-degree burglary.
Bautista also received three misdemeanors for second-degree assault and two counts of having a dangerous weapon with intent to injure.
Sheriff’s officers were called around 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 4 to the 15000 block of Cloverleaf Court in Hughesville for reports of the assault.
A preliminary investigation revealed the homeowner heard a noise in a spare bedroom and went to investigate.
Pena-Bautista allegedly jumped out and cut the man multiple times on his face and body then fled the home to a nearby vehicle.
According to a release from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, Pena-Bautista allegedly snuck into the home while the homeowner was away at work hours before the alleged assault.
The victim was flown to a local hospital with serious injuries.
Pena-Bautista was arrested on the afternoon of Aug. 4 and is currently held without bond in the Charles County Detention Center pending a bail review. He is due in court for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 2.
