An area transient who has a history of stalking an ex-girlfriend with death threats has been arrested after violating a no-contact order.
44-year-old Kennthony Jackson is accused of sending at least five messages to the woman that were allegedly harassing in nature on March 1st. The messages reportedly came from a number that was linked to a phone Jackson was in possession of this past Friday, and he was taken into custody.
Jackson is already facing sentencing on charges that he stalked his ex-girlfriend and threatened to kill her. Police say over the course of a month, he constantly called, texted, showed up at the workplace of, called the workplace of, and threatened his ex-girlfriend. The woman was forced to move because she felt unsafe.
Investigators say they found numerous messages on the woman’s and Jackson’s phones that, according to police, included a “constant flow of threats” including threats to kill the ex-girlfriend as well as “stomp” her at her workplace and put a gun in her mouth.
Police say Jackson admitted to threatening the woman, but he said he only did so because he was mad about money.
His sentencing hearing is set for April 12th; Jackson remains at the Johnson County Jail on $25,000 bond.
