A Warner man has been indicted for felony stalking after he allegedly sat outside a victim’s apartment, and called and texted the victim over 150 times in 24 hours.
Briley G. Webb, 27, was charged May 31 in Sequoyah County District Court and received a $5,000 bond. He is now scheduled for an August 2 felony disposition docket before Associate District Judge Kyle Waters.
Gore Police officer Cody Parkerson said he took a report of stalking from a reporting party in May. The victim alleged they had been harassed and stalked by Webb, along with being verbally and physically abused.
The victim alleged Webb was calling multiple times during all hours of the day and night, and was sitting outside the victim’s apartment, threatening to kick in the victim’s door through text messages, if any friends were over.
The victim said Webb had also started showing up at their place of employment and would follow them anytime they tried to go anywhere, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in the case, as well as following the victim’s family members around when he couldn’t find the victim.
The officer also reported other parties had told the victim Webb had allegedly tried to get them to spy on and follow the victim. Webb reportedly told the victim he was taking pictures of them inside their apartment through the window on at least one occasion, according to the affidavit.
The victim said Webb began calling at 5 a.m. and when they refused to answer, he called over and over. The victim said they blocked his number so they could get some sleep before work. Webb reportedly called the victim 162 times in 24 hours, according to the affidavit. He also reportedly texted the victim that many times as well.
Parkerson spoke with Muskogee County authorities who were able to make contact with Webb to meet at the Webbers Falls Police Department. Parkerson told Webb he’d seen the messages and phone calls he’d made to the victim, and wanted to know if he wished to make a statement about the allegations. Webb said he didn’t wish to make a statement and was placed under arrest at that time. He was transported to the Sequoyah County Detention Center where he was booked in on his charge.
District Attorney Jack Thorp said the crime is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than five years or by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
