Nevada Man Gets 15 Years In Prison For Stalking Woman

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking a female acquaintance while on parole for a similar crime that happened in Las Vegas.

The Washoe County District Attorney's office in Reno announced the sentence for 28-year-old Donald Eugene Jackson on Friday.

Jackson was arrested in Florence, Arizona, in January and pleaded guilty to the aggravated stalking charge in July. Prosecutors say Sparks Police Department investigators determined Jackson had sent numerous threatening text messages to a woman over several months in 2019.
