Dawson County man previously arrested for alleged jewelry theft just booked on domestic charges
Kunkel arrest

A Dawsonville man booked last year alongside his father for allegedly stealing jewelry through their business has been arrested again and accused of committing different crimes. 

Frank Robert Kunkel III, 38, was arrested by the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office the evening of March 21. He was charged with one misdemeanor count each of harassing communications, stalking and criminal trespass of a family violence nature. 

Warrants from DCSO accuse Kunkel of repeatedly calling the victim, leaving voicemails and sending messages through texts and Facebook messenger from March 10 to 17, 2022. 

Kunkel allegedly kept contacting the victim after being asked to stop and cease communications by a DCSO deputy on March 13, according to the misdemeanor stalking warrant. 

Between March 11 at 11 p.m. and March 12 at 1 a.m., he supposedly entered the complex where the victim lived to photograph the person’s front door “for the purpose of threatening, harassing or intimidating,” stated the criminal trespass warrant. 

A review of records for Kunkel III and his father, Frank R. Kunkel Jr.’s criminal case revealed no updates as of March 31. 

Two days after his March 21 arrest, Kunkel III was released from the Dawson County Detention Center on a $16,700 bond.
