Stalkers do NOT get away with it!


It may sometimes seem to victims that Stalkers get away with their crimes by working the system (or because they are mentally ill).  Even stalkers tend to think they are invincible and can not be caught.

Keep in mind, however, that once the police have been called and records are kept about their many harassing and stalking behaviors, and/or arrest warrants are filed, they DO get caught.

Below are a few examples of alleged stalkers who were shot resisting arrest, arrested and/or jailed, committed for psychiatric evaluation and/or locked up indefinitely for their behavior.
