Floyd County Jail records show 37-year-old Malcolm Jarrard Thompson of Adairsville faces an additional aggravated stalking charge. Coosa Valley News reports that Thompson contacted a woman from the jail despite a court order that prohibited contact. The victim ended the call after about 30 seconds. He allegedly tried to call her four more times, but she did not answer. Thompson was already under a July sentence barring contact with the woman. Officials arrested him earlier this week after reports that he stalked the woman, broke into her Alpine Court home, and assaulted her in front of two young children.
