Kaden Allen Glaser, 21, Carthage, pleaded guilty this morning in Jasper County Circuit Court to stalking a Jasper County detention officer and was sentenced to four years in prison.
The sentence will run concurrently with Glaser’s seven-year sentence for burglary.
Under a plea agreement with the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney’s office, a separate charge of violating a protection order will be dismissed.
Glaser was already awaiting trial for violating a protection order preventing him from going near the detention officer when the activities that brought the stalking charges occurred.
According to the probable cause statement in the protection order case, the investigating Carthage Police Department officer said Glaser posed a threat to the officer because:
Glaser met the Victim while incarcerated at the victim’s place of employment. On release, Glaser began stalking the victim causing her to obtain a protection order. The suspect has shown an obsession stating he is in love with the victim and has disregarded the protection order trespassing at the victim’s residence on two separate occasions in a two-hour period.
After his arrest, Glaser tried to convince other detention officers to give his alleged victim the message that he loved her, the probable cause statement said.
{Glaser} became agitated and aggressive with Deputies after being told the message would not be passed. {He} made comments about continuing to go to Victim #1’s residence when he got released from jail, and made statements advising he would murder Victim #1.
