A man accused of harassing and demanding oral sex from a teenager has been charged with aggravated stalking.

42-year-old Jessie Comer Harris of Possum Hollow Road, Dowelltown is under a $10,000 bond and he will make a court appearance on May 26.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on May 15 Harris showed up several times at the residence of his 17-year-old victim demanding oral sex. Law enforcement officers were notified each time. Meanwhile on May 14 officers were summoned to DeKalb Market due to Harris harassing the same victim at that location. The victim told officers that the harassment from Harris had been occurring for two weeks.

A man and his girlfriend were arrested earlier this month after they were found with methamphetamine and marijuana.

48-year-old Charles Edward White, Jr. of Johnson’s Chapel Road and 34-year-old Tiffany Jeanette Ford of South Carter Street, Sparta are each charged with possession of methamphetamine and marijuana with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver. Bond for each is $250,000 and they will make a court appearance on May 26.

Sheriff Ray said that on May 12 a search warrant was executed at White’s home and found inside the residence where White and Ford were present was an estimated 18.42 grams of methamphetamine along with various baggies and other paraphernalia. Under the hood of a vehicle outside the home was an estimated 33.1 grams of marijuana.

51-year-old Tisha Elaine Burns of Miller Road, Smithville is charged with being a fugitive from justice. Her bond is $50,000 and she will be in court May 26.

After providing the information, Pack went into the store and fled on foot out the back door.
