(Greenfield, Iowa) – Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reports a man from Bridgewater was cited last week for Harassment in the 3rd Degree. 19-year-old Zachary Dokota Christie detained, cited and then released, Wednesday night (July 17), following an investigation into a complaint from the uncle of a woman who was allegedly being harassed by Christie, by allegedly threatening to post nude pictures of the female, who is 18. Christie allegedly said he would post the pictures if the woman did not “hook up with him,” according to a report by the investigating deputy.

The woman told the deputy she had dated Christie in the past, and that they had talked when she moved to Bridgewater last May. The woman and her uncle showed the deputy screen shots from a social media app with Zachary Christie’s alleged screen name “White Boi AKA Marshmallow,” and an additional user name that was messaging in the victim’s profile. The woman identified the subject’s profile and username as being associated with Christie.

Christie admitted in an interview with the deputy, that he sent the messages to the victim, “because he had gotten mad,” but that he did not actually have any nude pictures of the woman to post. Because the woman felt annoyed and intimidated, she filed a charge of Harassment.
