Jury convicts Moultrian for stalking

MOULTRIE — A Colquitt County Jury that deliberated part of Wednesday and all day Thursday found a Moultrie man guilty Friday of one of 11 aggravated stalking charges.

Audrey Lewis Porter Jr., 29, also was found guilty of 10 misdemeanor counts of violating a family violence order.

As of Friday, no date had been set for sentencing for Porter, who was accused of making telephone calls and writing letters with the intent of harassing and intimidating Crystal Plymel.

Porter, who has three children with Plymel, followed Plymel when she left St. Petersburg, Fla., and moved to Moultrie. After a court order was served he made four telephone calls and wrote seven letters to Plymel.

The court’s protective order was filed in Oct. 22 after Plymel reported that Porter on one occasion knocked on the windows and doors of her residence as well as her neighbors’ doors, and on another tried to find her at the health department a short time after she had been there. She also reported that he called her at work, and that before she left Florida he hit her on two occasions.

Jurors deadlocked on the other 10 felony aggravated stalking charges, instead finding that he violated the protective order on those occasions. The phone calls and letters began in November 2007 and the final incident was a letter received on Feb. 5.
