Snellville Woman, 67, Fears for Life After Harassing Phone Calls

An elderly woman reported to police earlier this month that she was afraid for her life after receiving harassing phone calls from a man.

According to the Snellville Police report, the 67-year-old said the man, whose identity she was able to provide to police, first called her around 3:50 p.m. that day. Within 40 minutes, he called her another two times.

She told police that at one point he asked her if she lived at a specific address in Snellville. She told him yes, which at that point he called her the B word.

After the phone calls and name calling, the woman became scared, thinking that the suspect might come over to her house.

Police told her that she could obtain a temporary protection order against the man, and she could also call her telephone provider to block the suspect's number.

Update 3:30 p.m.: Snellville Police Capt. Harold Thomas told Patch they are following up with this story. The suspect denies making the calls, but the victim claims they are still occuring.
