A New London man is accused of harassing an ex-girlfriend.
Ellis K. Wangelin, 57, New London, is charged with felony stalking.
According to the criminal complaint, a 58-year-old woman told Waupaca County deputies she broke up with Wangelin on July 11, after nine years of an on-again, off-again relationship.
She said she changed all the locks on her doors and obtained a new cellphone due to prior domestic abuse.
When investigators spoke with neighbors and co-workers, they described Wangelin as violent and volatile and reported seeing bruises on the victim.
In September, Wangelin allegedly began made multiple calls to and entered the victim’s workplace, accused her of having an affair and left messages demanding to speak to her immediately.
The woman reported he visited her father’s grave where he left items and sent her notes.
On Nov. 24, Wangelin left a Christmas tree by the woman’s front door, the complaint says.
On Dec. 4, he allegedly parked across the street from where the woman works and stared at her.
On Dec. 5, the woman returned from work and found Wangelin parked in front of her house.
Judge Troy Nielsen granted the woman a temporary restraining order against Wangelin.
Wangelin was released from custody after posting a $1,000 cash bond.
