Millsboro man charged with stalking, violation of bail

A Millsboro man faces stalking and violation of bail charges after police said he contacted a victim with whom he had been ordered to have no contact.

William Taylor was charged March 26 with stalking after police said he had been stalking a Fenwick Island resident for more than nine months. 

Police said Taylor continued to contact the victim through what they called “electric” means, and Taylor was again arrested June 28 for violating conditions of his bail. Police said Taylor tried to contact the victim through a third party, who reported it to the Fenwick Island Police Department.

After obtaining warrants for Taylor’s arrest, officers with the Delaware Office of Probation and Parole took Taylor into custody Oct. 24. He was taken to Delaware State Police Troop 4 and charged with 12 counts of noncompliance with bond, three counts of harassment, and stalking. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $73,000 cash bail.
