In Nevada, stalking is defined as performing deliberate actions to cause someone else to reasonably fear for their safety and the safety of their loved ones. A person cannot be charged with stalking for one event, but rather a pattern of actions over time in order to make another individual feel scared or terrorized.
Common examples of stalking include:
-
Following a person by foot or vehicle for a lengthy distance
-
Frequently calling, texting, or leaving several voicemails
-
Repeatedly coming to a persons house unexpectedly
-
Defacing or vandalizing a persons property
-
Other unwanted communications and interactions
Other Types of Stalking
If an alleged stalker intentionally threatens someone else with serious injury or death, then this type of offense is considered aggravated stalking.
