CBS News, the Houston Press and the Houston Chronicle have reported that a woman, broken hearted and angry over a breakup that occurred in 2009, has been charged with felony stalking due to several violent and non-violent acts she has committed.
When Houston resident P.M. broke up with T.J.S., 49, her reaction – such as excessive telephone calls, breaking windows and egging his home – resulted in a felony charge.
T.J.S. is currently in the Harris County Jail with her bail set at $25,000.
T.J.S. allegedly telephoned P.M. at least 146 times in one 24-hour period this past August, and 1,001 times in total.
Within a three-month period, after their breakup, T.J.S sent P.M. 712 e-mails.
She used a tire iron and a 5-foot long sword to break the windows in his west Houston home.
She egged his house more than once.
She created a blog in June of 2011 and proceeded to write out the story of their relationship – and its demise – oftentimes calling him names and critiquing his affairs with younger women.
She hacked his e-mail account, and allegedly put excerpts of written conversations he had with other women on her blog.
She ran her car, a Chevy Blazer, into his car, which sent his vehicle into his garage and house siding. According to court documents, the accident caused approximately $1,700 in damages.
Then, finally, she proceeded to brag about her actions on her Facebook page – including incriminating photos that she also shared with police detectives – while using the name "WoundedPoeticSoul" on the Internet.
T.J.S. said to police during an interview, "Read my blog, read my blog, it's all there" after which the officer did as she requested and reported that he "found numerous references to the damages to the complainant's property..."
One excerpt reads, "Yes, P, you and I are headed for court...so the truth will be heard...what a fool you have been with your pride and your ego. Remember, 'Pride goeth before the fall' and don't look down now P...you are teetering on a ledge and the bottom is beckoning to you with one more step! You selfish, egotistical evil old fool.... looks like you have met your nemesis, huh P? I sincerely mean it when I say I pity you...truly I do...you still think yourself to important or too clever for it to happen to you. Do what is right P...before your foot slips off that ledge. Other wise...."
A magistrate has ordered that T.J.S. not contact P.M.
James Madison Ardoin III is representing T.J.S. and has declined to comment.
P.M., "afraid of angering (T.J.S.) further" has been reluctant to file charges against her. He told officers that the two only dated very briefly. P.M., though contacted for a comment, did not respond to email or voicemail queries.
Court records show that an officer with the Houston Police Department's Special Crimes Division warned T.J.S. – several times via telephone – to leave P.M. alone. He explained to T.J.S. that if she didn't stop harassing P.M. that she would be facing criminal charges.
The same day that the officer warned her to cease and desist, she tossed a few more eggs down P.M.'s driveway.
