Indiana State House candidate charged with stalking

Source: USA Today

John L. Couch, 49, Indianapolis, an independent candidate in House District 92, was taken into custody Oct. 9 after police served a search warrant at his apartment.

Police had been investigating claims by state Democratic Rep. Karlee Macer that Couch had been stalking her for months, Maj. Michael R. Hubbs of the Marion County Sheriff's Office said in a probable cause affidavit filed earlier this month.

Karlee Macer met Couch on April 15 at the Liberty Tax Services center on Crawfordsville Road, where he worked part time in client services, according to court documents. The Macers had filed their annual taxes in February at the center, which gave Couch access to all of their personal information. When Macer visited the center in April, Couch approached her and said he knew everything about her. He was adamant, Macer told police, that she fully understand how much he knew about her background.

First I've heard of this. And yes, Macer is one of the few people in the General Assembly who's blessed with a brain.

Wishing her well. How scary.
