SAN ANTONIO – A Florida man was arrested for stalking a retired four-star general after traveling all the way from Florida to Fair Oaks Ranch.<\/p>\n
Police records show Stephen Garrity, 48, arrived at the home of David Lee Goldfein, a retired United States Air Force general, on September 6. Garrity contacted Goldfein’s wife at the residence, identified himself by name and said he would “like to have a word” with Goldfein. Goldfein was not home at the time and after being informed of this, Garrity left the property. Goldfein and his wife say they do not know Garrity.<\/p>\n
Police say the first contact from Garrity was reported in February, when Goldfein received a letter from Florida. Investigators describe the letter as containing vulgar language and threats, with Garrity calling himself “King Sir General Stephen C Garrity SR USAF” and using obscenities directed at Goldfein and others.<\/p>\n
Garrity also wrote, \u201cTake my CMH\u2019s I have as a Blackbird pilot, U2 pilot, B1 pilot, B2 pilot and everything else and shove them up your f@#$ing ass.\u201d Garrity signed the letter and listed his address and phone number.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Garrity again traveled unannounced to Goldfein\u2019s home on September 6, following the same pattern of behavior and then returned to Florida on the same day.<\/p>\n
This prompted the Goldfein family to take firearms training.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving to keep loaded weapons in our home at this stage in our lives is quite unnerving (and depressing),\u201d said Goldfein.<\/p>\n
Authorities charged Garrity with stalking, a third-degree felony in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A Florida man was arrested for stalking a retired four-star general after traveling all the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-467024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
