our communities”, said District Attorney Nathan Hotchman of the incident. “My
office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize
others, ensuring they are held accountable”.

Threat Assessment Team, particularly Deputy District Attorney Sam Hulefeld, for
their outstanding work in this case”, Hochman said, “By working together, we
are ensuring that dangerous individuals are taken off our streets”.
