Gordon Kent Nelson, the man who was arrested in May and charged with two misdemeanor battery counts for allegedly biting two young girls, has been arrested again, this time on a felony charge, Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton announced today.
Nelson, age 44, was arrested yesterday following an alleged confrontation on June 9 with the family of his first victim at a Wal-Mart store at 5455 Atlanta Highway in Alpharetta. He is charged with one felony count of Aggravated Stalking, Sheriff Paxton said.
According to the complaint filed with the Sheriff’s Office, the eight year-old female victim was with her mother and father in the check-out line at Wal-Mart when Nelson entered the store. When they finished checking out and left the store, Nelson allegedly followed them to the parking lot. The victim’s father stated that as they attempted to leave the parking lot Nelson followed them in his vehicle and blew kisses at them. A verbal argument between the two men followed. Nelson left the scene when the girl’s father advised Nelson they were calling authorities.
At the time of his arrest in May, Nelson was charged with two misdemeanor counts of simple battery. He allegedly bit two 8 year-old girls in separate incidents. As a condition of his bonds in both incidents, Nelson was not to have any contact with the victims or their families.
Nelson is being held in the Forsyth County Adult Detention Center pending his first court appearance.
