A lot of guys jokingly say they are going to stalk Serena, but this guy actually did it. Yes I am being judgmental by saying looking at his mugshot, he looks like a stalker.
Here are the details.
A man accused of stalking tennis star Serena Williams told investigators he knew her whereabouts because of her updates on Twitter.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirms that 40-year-old Patenema Ouedraogo is charged with stalking and cyber-stalking, after he was arrested near Williams’ home early Tuesday morning by Palm Beach Gardens Police. Ouedraogo was booked just before 2 a.m.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Ouedraogo had a Texas driver’s license when he was stopped by private security near the home of Williams Monday evening. Guards had received alerts warning them of a man who had been stalking Serena and said he matched the description. They put him in handcuffs and called police.
I am surprised this doesn’t happen more often, with the advent of twitter, it is not that hard to find out where your favorite athlete or entertainer will be at.
Even regular people who have crazy ex-boyfriends, girlfriends, wives and husbands should be very aware that their movements can be tracked by social media.
