Each time he took the mug, the victim told police it had been tampered with when it was returned. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The complaint states that Haver eventually admitted to police during an interview with tampering with the victim\u2019s mug, saying \u201che felt that this was his only way of getting close with her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Haver is now charged with stalking, six counts of indecent assault and harassment, and was due in court this week. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Highmark Health confirmed Haver is no longer an employee with the company. We were also provided the following statement: <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">\u201cAt Highmark Health, the safety and security of our valued team members in their work environment is our highest priority, and we have zero tolerance for any individual conduct or behavior that harms or threatens the well-being others.\u00a0The charges recently filed resulted from a swift and thorough investigation by our police force of allegations made against a former employee.
