A Dawsonville man now faces two felonies after being arrested in early 2022 for allegedly stalking and harassing a victim.
Anthony Wayne Geirrein, 36, was arrested by the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 12 at 10:30 a.m.
He was charged with one felony count each of identity fraud and aggravated stalking.
The alleged fraud took place on Jan. 4, 2022, while the stalking allegedly occurred on Jan. 10, according to multiple indictments from May 2022.
Geirrein allegedly created a fake profile for his soon-to-be ex-wife on a dating website, using her personal information without her consent to do so. She later got a text in response to the fake profile, according to a DCSO warrant.
During a subsequent interview with authorities, Geirrein admitted to creating the profile for harassment purposes. Multiple warrants also state that he allegedly wrote a vulgar message about her on the wall of the men’s bathroom at Racetrac that included her number.
She later also got a text in reference to that. The warrant for stalking also alleged that Geirrein drove by the daycare for he and the victim’s son and by the victim’s residence, which is not on the way to his own place.
