What we know:

59-year-old Anthony Golden was arrested on March 20 and charged with one count of third-degree felony stalking.

APD says additional cases are believed to be connected to him and the investigation is active and ongoing.

A "significant tip" helped to identify Golden, says APD, which allowed detectives to further investigate and eventually arrest him.

The backstory:

Two of the most recent incidents occurred at the same location in the 4000 block of Avenue C over the past two months.

The latest reported incident took place on Feb. 17, 2026, at approximately 1:14 a.m. Then, the suspect returned to the same residence on March 4, 2026, around 12:35 a.m.
