A man wanted on multiple warrants in Floyd County, Georgia, faces a new stalking charge after contacting a victim from a jail holding cell. Deputies located Malcolm Thompson at a home in Adairsville early Saturday morning.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office reported that officers tracked Thompson for four hours. They took him into custody around 12:15 a.m. Saturday. Officers from the Adairsville Police Department secured the residence during the operation. Deputy Cox helped transport Thompson back to Floyd County.
Thompson’s legal troubles began with an incident on Oct. 31. Initial warrants for that case included aggravated stalking, burglary, second-degree criminal damage to property, and battery under the Family Violence Act. He also faced two counts of third-degree cruelty to children and one count of obstructing or hindering an emergency telephone call.
On Nov. 4, authorities issued an additional warrant for another aggravated stalking incident. Thompson allegedly contacted the victim and demanded the charges be dropped. Less than an hour after his Saturday arrest, Thompson allegedly made multiple phone calls to the victim from a holding cell. Those calls resulted in a third count of aggravated stalking.
Officials have not confirmed the specific street address where deputies found Thompson. Investigators have not released details about his first court appearance or bond status.
