ST. LOUIS COUNTY – A man previously convicted of 2nd degree murder has been arrested after prosecutors said he repeatedly harassed people at local synagogues over the course of the past year.

According to newly published court documents, 50-year-old Dennis Brian Klopfenstein Jr. was arrested Tuesday and charged with Felony Harassment after prosecutors alleged he made “frequent unwanted visits” and “multiple disturbing phone calls” to multiple Jewish congregations, causing “emotional distress.”

A then 22-year-old Klopfenstein was convicted for killing his father back in 1997.

He’s being held in the St. Louis County Jail on a $500,000 bond. He has a bond reduction hearing set for Tuesday, April 29.
