Federal grand jury indicts Baxter Springs man for terrorizing Joplin woman- Joplin Police had arrested him on eight counts of violating full protection order

Rather than winding his way through the Jasper County judicial system and remaining free while awaiting trial, a Baxter Springs, Kansas man, arrested by the Joplin Police Department on eight counts of violating a protection order by stalking a Joplin woman, is being held in the Greene County Jail on no bond.

A federal grand jury indictment against Zachariah James Garner, 32, was unsealed July 15 in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, charging him with two counts of interstate domestic violence and one count of interstate violation of a protection order.

The government moved for a detention hearing for Garner, a former Joplin resident, during his initial court appearance this morning in Springfield. The hearing has been scheduled for 10 a.m. August 3.
