Indianapolis, IN asked in Criminal Law for Indiana

Q: I have an ex who I have crossed passed with over the past few years. He has taken my pictures of me on 2 occasions.

He has also pulled up next to me in a parking lot only to stare at me for a few minutes and then pull off. Just recently he was staring at me in intimidation when we happened to be at the same restaurant. His wife has confronted me (verbally), sent me a threatening text and has been staring me down and throwing her hands up at me as if she wants to fight. Is there anything I can do?

A: You can document best you can each time a situation happens and you can file for a protective order through your local court. The Clerks Office has the forms for you to fill out.
