Kent Police arrested a 33-year-old man for investigation of telephone harassment after he reportedly sent 56 text messages and left six voice mails to a former girlfriend’s cell phone over a seven-hour period on Aug. 20.
The man also allegedly called the 25-year-old woman’s house phone eight times in four hours earlier in the day, according to the police report.
The woman told officers she had broken up with the man about five months ago after they had dated for two years. She told police she had told the man to stop calling her.
Officers initially found out about the case when the man called police earlier on Aug. 20 to report that his ex-girlfriend’s father had threatened to come to his East Hill home and kill him.
But when officers interviewed the man, he offered no reason why the father of the former girlfriend would threaten him. Officers noted that the man also smelled of intoxicants and had red and watery eyes.
Police interviewed the ex-girlfriend’s father and he told officers he had not spoken to the man.
The former boyfriend also drove by his former girlfriend’s house as many as four times Aug. 20.
