A Reno man has been arrested by Sparks Police on charges including aggravated stalking, just months after a previous stalking arrest and conviction.
38-year-old Shawn Skelton was arrested on Wednesday, May 7, at a business on South Meadows Parkway, according to a release from the Sparks Police Department.
Skelton had previously been arrested on February 6th for misdemeanor stalking.
He was convicted of stalking constituting domestic violence in March. He failed to comply with court orders, according to Sparks Police, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
While police were trying to find Skelton, another investigation was opened into him for aggravated stalking, a class B felony.
Skelton's actions became more concerning, police say, with him allegedly making threats of death and harm to his victim.
He was arrested without incident on his warrant and a charge of aggravated stalking, as well as violating an extended protection order against domestic violence.
During their investigation, police learned that Skelton might have talked with community members about his behavior. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Sparks Police Department at (775) 353-2231 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900 or secretwitness.com.
