I was followed home from the bar. i need advice.
I was at the bar with my best friend Stacey and her boyfriend Greg. I go to this bar pretty frequently on the weekends, as I live in a small town and mostly everyone knows everyone.
To make a long story short, this man in the bar kept staring at me. I’m like, okay, whatever, I’m used to men staring at me. To give some backstory, Stacey mentioned her other friend knows this said man because he has a pest control business and does ant spray and says to her friend that she’s lucky she’s married, etc. (Again, everyone knows everyone. This will make more sense later.)
So then we go outside because a lot of people hang out in the outside area, which is also connected to the parking lot. We notice he drives in a circle around the building very slowly with his window rolled down in his pest truck. My friend then starts mentioning he’s also an alcoholic. He then drives around the bar again, making this twice now. I don’t see him again after that.
To be clear, we had no conversation. I did smile at him once when he would not stop staring inside.
Anyways, she tells me to meet at her apartment, and Greg is coming as well. She needs to go inside to pay her tab, and in the meantime, I am sitting in my car with the door open waiting on my friend to finish her tab. (Stacey lives about 6 minutes from the bar. This is relevant later.)
So about 5 minutes go by, and I notice Stacey and Greg have left. I call her and I’m like, “Hey, I’m OTW to your house.” So I’m driving, and I notice this car behind me is on my ass.
Anyway, I pull into her neighborhood, and so does the car. I’m like, funny, small world. But then I park, and when I get out, the pest truck with the man from the bar is blocking me in like a T.
I run inside my friend’s apartment, and by the time I do, he is parked. Greg runs out, and he leaves.
After doing more research, he was charged with second-degree assault at an elementary school for kissing and grabbing another staff member. ALSO, he was hired at my high school after I graduated as a football coach and was fired and also charged because he made the boys do bear crawls as a punishment on turf, and they had third-degree burns on their hands.
And… my mom is friends with his ex-wife, and my brothers played baseball with his kids. Again, small world.
I did file a police report, and the police came and told me pretty much they can’t do anything. I already knew this because I’m very educated on things like this, and I let them know I just wanted them to know in case I was murdered.
He literally waited on me to leave the bar and followed me home.
I guess I just wanted to share this story because Stacey is scared he knows where she lives. He has previous arrests. This all happened about 30 minutes ago.
I’m just wondering also, what should I do to make sure he doesn’t start stalking me? I’m also worried because he is going to many women’s houses and also sounds like a repeat offender. It just sounds like he will eventually hurt or kill someone.
What do I do? I am scared.
to clarify i did tell the police everything gave them a picture of the truck. i did get my grammar fixed in the typing and paragraphs but i have bad spelling and grammar so i wanted everyone to understand me clearly
