Stalking case headed to trial next year

By COURTNEY SERVAES, Herald Staff Writer

An Ottawa man accused of stalking an Ottawa woman will face a jury trial next year.

Dale Moore, 48, will face a two-day jury trial starting at 9 a.m. April 6 at Franklin County District Court.

Moore, former general manager at Wal-Mart Distribution Center, appeared in court for his preliminary hearing earlier this week, where he pleaded not guilty to the stalking charges.

According to court documents, an Ottawa woman filed a petition for protection against stalking in September against Moore, who allegedly followed the woman from work and followed her friends, coworkers and husband over the course of three years. That petition was granted by Judge Magistrate Kevin Kimball in October.

During Moore’s hearing last week, his lawyer, Ronald Ryburn requested modifications to Moore’s bond, which currently requires the use of electronic monitoring.

Moore’s lawyer asked Judge Thomas Sachse to remove the electronic monitoring requirement from the bond conditions so Moore could pursue another job. Sachse will decide about the bond conditions during a telephone conference Nov. 30.

Moore was discharged from his previous job because of the allegations against him, court documents say.
