Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports a man from Adair was arrested late Thursday morning by Adair Police, on a trio of charges. 55-year old Taylor Lee Parton faces charges of Harassment in the 3rd degree, Harassing a Public Official or Employee, and 1st offense Stalking.

His arrest was the result of an investigation into three separate incidents at an apartment complex located in the 800 block of Stuart Street, in Adair.

Parton was released on his Own Recognizance early Thursday evening.
