Police on May 21 arrested a 44-year-old Norwalk man by warrant and charged him with electronic stalking.
Under state law, a person is guilty of the felony offense if he or she “with the intent to kill, injure, harass or intimidate, uses any interactive computer service or electronic communication service, electronic communication system or electronic monitoring system to place another person under surveillance or otherwise to engage in a course of conduct that: (1) Places such other person in reasonable fear of the death of or serious bodily injury to (A) such person, (B) an immediate family member of such person, or (C) an intimate partner of such person; or (2) causes, attempts to cause or would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to a person described in subparagraph (A), (B) or (C) of subdivision (1) of this subsection.”
Police say the electronic stalking complaint in this case was reported to New Canaan Police in April. Police withheld details, saying it was a domestic matter.
The accused man was arrested at about 2 p.m. on May 21 and processed at New Canaan Police Department headquarters.
She was released on $10,000 bond and scheduled to appear the following day in state Superior Court. Court records show that he has not yet pleaded and is now scheduled for arraignment on Aug. 1.
