Stalker?

[FeliciaLeonhart]

I wasn't too sure where to put this..

Anyways, I started working where I am now back in March. Now in the first couple weeks, I noticed this older guy constantly hovering around to the point it creeped me out. After asking a few people, I found out he just comes in and stares at the girls and that's it. Now at first, it was just that, not too often. Then it started to get to the point he was in every day and I'd be asking someone to make him leave cause it bothered me. Now, one of the girls I've worked with was only tried to be confronted by this guy once about a month and a half ago and she ignored him, but other than that he's been following me whenever I leave for lunch to the point I don't leave the building unless someone is with me on my breaks.

The one day, I actually had someone make him leave for the day, on lunch I went to a store next door to buy a drink and a snack, he was outside of that store the entire time I was in there and tried to talk to me when I walked out.

Now a couple weeks ago, I was told that if the store manager had to escort him off again, the police would finally be called. But of course, he showed up again today and was way too close for comfort.

I'm really not sure what to do about it cause I've told the higher ups a few times that this guy bothers me and follows me even though I've never spoken to him before in my life. And personally, I think it wouldn't have gotten this bad if they had just stopped him from coming in years ago like they were supposed to since he's "not allowed in the store".

you should tell the police about it and make sure you leave out NO details about the store that is stalking i would no my dads a cop but u could also get a restraining order out to

I agree with PrincessDea, when it gets this bad (him returning even when he's getting escorted out numerous times), you kind of have to talk to the police, and get a restraining order or something similar. Have you told any family/friends? Sometimes it's easier to go to the police and talk with a close friend/relative with you. You should do this quick, and like Dea said, don't leave out details! If they look up the right guy to find that he's got some sort of record on him, then you might know if you're dealing with just an obsessive stalker or something more serious. Again, do this as soon as you can and see if you can scare him off before it escalates! Good luck!

You need to tell the police about this. You've asked, and had him escorted away multiple times. Once or twice should be enough and he should get the hint. He may be handicapped and that's just the way he is (not making excuses, just throwing out ideas) or he could be a creeper (for lack of better words). You need to document everytime he comes, what time, how long, when he is escorted, etc. Give it to the police. You can file a restraining order against him. If he violates the restraining order, call the cops again and he will more likely do some jail time. You don't have to put up with a stalker. Take the initiative and take care of this. Good luck.
