On October 7, 2010 the victim ended her relationship with David Thomas Copsey, Jr., 40 of Mechanicsville. The victim explained to Copsey that she did not want him to contact her by any means. Since then Copsey has repeatedly attempted to call, text and contact the victim against her wishes.
Copsey has shown up in person at the victim’s place of employment, her residence, her family’s residence and her child’s school after being told several times not to contact her or trespass on her property. Copsey’s actions have caused the victim to be concerned for her and her child’s safety.
On October 8, 2010 at approximately 3:00 a.m., Copsey went to the victim’s residence and attempted to contact her. He was stopped leaving the residence by Cpl. Somerville.
Copsey was arrested and charged with stalking, harassment and trespassing.
