Stalker Collared

A weekend stalking case had a deputy returning to a woman's home so many times he almost wore a rut in the road. It started in the wee hours of Saturday morning at 345 Hilltop Acres. Berniece James called the sheriff's office to report a prowler. A deputy found nothing. A little while later, she calls back -- the prowler is tapping on the window. Again, deputies search the area and find nothing. Minutes later, another call, and again, no prowler.



This time, the deputy parks a little way up the street and turns off his headlights. It wasn't long before Mr. Sneaky, who goes by the name Michael Greer, stalks out from between two houses, headed for the James place. The deputy pulled up and Greer dashed away into the woods. After another deputy returned to the scene, the two of them flushed Greer out of the woods and arrested him. He said he'd parked his moped a mile away and hiked up to the house. Apparently he was a former co-worker with Ms. Jones and developed a thing for her -- feelings she says she didn't share. She says he's been stalking her for two years. Greer was booked on multiple charged and placed under a 5-thousand dollar secured bond.
