Tupelo man charged with stalking in Oxford

OXFORD – A Tupelo man was rearrested Monday and charged with stalking, after he continued to harass a victim, even with a protection order and being arrested Friday for the same thing. An Oxford police parking and code enforcement officer witnessed a verbal altercation on North Lamar Boulevard Friday July 11 around 4:15 p.m. The suspect, later identified as Mitchell Wren, 23, of Tupelo, tried to flee the area as the officer approached. He was located shortly by responding patrol officers while trying to leave Oxford. After the initial investigation determined that Wren had been cyberstalking and harassing the victim, he was arrested, transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center, and given a bond. After posting bond July 14, Wren violated a domestic abuse protection order by continuing to text and call the victim. Oxford police obtained a new arrest warrant and Wren was later taken into custody by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and booked into the Monroe County Jail at 1:40 p.m., where he will remain incarcerated until he can be released into the custody of the Oxford Police Department. This case remains under investigation.
