SALISBURY, N.H. — A New Hampshire man was arrested Sunday for allegedly impersonating a police officer and stalking a woman outside of her home.

Jerry Williams, 46, of Salisbury, is charged with false personation, harassment, stalking, criminal trespassing, and loitering/prowling.

New Hampshire State Police say a Salisbury woman reported she was receiving texts from someone identifying themselves as a state police captain. The suspect, who was not a member of the State Police or any other law enforcement agency, was trying to get information from the woman and allegedly told her she was being monitored and her house was being watched.

The suspect texted particular things that led the victim to believe the suspect was currently watching her, according to police. The victim saw on her residential security camera that an unidentified person was looking in her window.

Arriving officers were unable to locate the unidentified party, but a male suspect, identified as Williams, was arrested on a warrant after a follow-up investigation by Trooper Tyler Griffin.
