An Iowa City man faces a harassment charge after allegedly sending a threatening text message to his ex-girlfriend and mother to their child.
The text reportedly was sent by 32-year-old Stephen Stampka of Western Road to the woman late Friday night last week. The text allegedly detailed several ways in which she would die and ways he wants to do it. They include slicing her up into “fat fat fat steaks and trying cannibalism one time”, and stoning her after nailing her to a cross.
The text continues with other detailed desires, and reportedly ends with, “If you see me around, you two better effing run, that’s all I have to say.” Attempts to contact Stampka about the text were unsuccessful, and a warrant was issued.
Stampka was charged with 1st degree Harassment and could spend up to two years in jail if convicted.
