A Newton County man is charged with stalking a woman for the second time.
Dayne Hanley, 31, of Lake Village, was charged Wednesday with attempted burglary, two counts of stalking, and four misdemeanors.
He appeared in Lake Superior Court Friday where his bail was set at $7,500 cash surety.
A Lake County Sheriff’s office investigator responded Oct. 21 for an invasion of privacy call at a home on W. 153rd Avenue in Crown Point.
The woman was not there, but relatives spotted Hanley around 3:50 p.m. in her truck in a back barn. His white truck was outside.
“I wish (she) would have come out here,” Hanley reportedly told them.
One relative said it was “Dayne” — the same man in a picture the woman showed after the first stalking charges were filed in September.
Some tools were outside, which he put back.
“I’m sorry (she) did me like that,” he added.
Her truck’s fuse box was moved with “components” on the driver’s seat. Over a FaceTime call, the woman was “hysterical” that he violated the protection order, and messed up her truck.
Police traced the white truck’s license plate directly to him.
Court records show a Sept. 23 stalking case in Lake County against the same woman is pending. She set up a protective order on Sept. 25 that was served to him in Newton County. A court-mandated no contact order was issued Oct. 13.
His next court date is Nov. 17 before Judge Samuel Cappas.
