Man charged with stalking
high school students
Denver District Attorney Bill
Ritter, Jr. has formally charged a man with stalking three high
school students.
Alonzo Smith
(DOB 12-23-76) is charged with
three counts of stalking (F5).
The charges allege that on
August 13, 2004, Alonzo Smith followed a 14-year-old girl in his
car while she was walking along 28th Avenue near
Federal. The following morning, the same man followed her in
his car when she got on a bus. The man followed her to her stop
and proceeded to drive away. On August 17, 2004, two Lincoln
High School girls were walking to a local fast food restaurant
for lunch when a man started following them in his car. He was
still waiting for them when they left the restaurant and
continued to follow them back to school, making several comments
along the way. Smith was taken into custody after the girls
reported the incident to their School Resource Officer.
Smith is a registered sex
offender in Jefferson County where he resides. Smith will be
formally advised of the charges on September 1, 2004 at 9:00
a.m. in Denver County
Courtroom 12T. Smith’s bond is set at $50,000.
