Carthage man charged with stalking Jasper County detention officer, violating protection order

A felony stalking charge was filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court against a Carthage man who allegedly harassed a detention officer at the Jasper County Jail.

Kaden Allen Glaser (DOB 2004) was already awaiting trial for violating a protection order preventing him from going near the detention officer when the activities that brought the latest charges occurred.

According to the probable cause statement in the protection order case, the investigating Carthage Police Department officer said Glaser posed a threat to the officer because: 

Glaser met the Victim while incarcerated at the victim's place of employment. On release, Glaser began stalking the victim causing her to obtain a protection order. The suspect has shown an obsession stating he is in love with the victim and has disregarded the protection order trespassing at the victim's residence on two separate occasions in a two-hour period.

After his latest arrest, Glaser tried to convince other detention officers to give his alleged victim the message that he loved her, the probable cause statement said.

{Glaser} became agitated and aggressive with Deputies after being told the message would not be passed. {He} made comments about continuing to go to Victim #1's residence when he got released from jail, and made statements advising he would murder Victim #1.
