A Plymouth man landed in the Kosciusko County Jail Friday after an alleged incident of stalking.

Warsaw Police say that at around 5:45 p.m. July 27, Siamuel A. Stemen, 27, 722 E. LaPorte St., Plymouth, deliberately violated a protective order by stalking and ramming his wife’s vehicle on East Market Street in Warsaw.

Police say the incident began when Kathryn M. Stemen, 27, got off work around 5 p.m. and received a telephone call from her estranged husband, Siamuel A. Stemen, who said he watched her leave work and drive downtown. While downtown, Mr. Stemen drove by Kathryn and yelled at her almost striking her white Chevrolet Equinox.

Kathryn Stemen drove down Market Street near Bronson Street she observed Mr. Stemen’s vehicle, a grey Toyota Tacoma, drive up next to her and swerve into the driver’s side of her car. He rammed her vehicle two more times eventually forcing her off the road and into a yard before he drove away.

While Mrs. Stemen was speaking with police, her estranged husband called her cell phone, which was answered by a Warsaw Police officer who told Mr. Stemen to go to the Warsaw Police Department. Stemen responded by saying he called the wrong number.

Police tracked the cell phone and found it moving through Elkhart County. An attempt to locate the grey Toyota Tacoma and Stemen was sent out. Stemen was later located by the Edwardsburg, Mich.,  Police Department after having attempting to cut his wrists.
