Laguna Beach police arrest man suspected of stalking
Laguna Beach police arrested a Laguna Beach man on suspicion of stalking, criminal threats and burglary, authorities said.
Gregory Murray, 28, was arrested last week at his residence, according to a news release, and was booked into Orange County Jail with bail set at $50,000.
He was released Monday night after the Orange County district attorney’s office declined to prosecute, according to jail records.
Officers responded to a Laguna Beach residence June 8 after an occupant awoke to find a man in her room, the release said. Police said Murray and the 24-year-old woman dated for three months in 2015.
After the dating relationship ended, Murray is suspected of sending harassing emails, as well as threatening text and social media messages, to the woman and her family members — more than 150 as of March this year.
