Ladies; Here's One for Your 'Do Not Date' List

Spencer, OK - As a sort of public service to all the ladies out there, SidebarBlog would like to put our female readers on notice. That is unless you happen to seek out the stalker type when looking for a mate.

According to court records, Dennis Dean Ross, 42, may just be a wee bit needy.

Seems a little over a month ago, on two occasions, Ross had dinner dates with a Tammy L. of Norman.

Tammy told police that her relationship with Ross was purely platonic and that two dates was plenty enough to realize things were not going to work out because of Ross's "behavior" - seems Ross didn't get the same vibe.

On March 5, Tammy called 9-1-1 after she awoke to a loud noise and found Ross standing in her living room. Police reports indicate Ross may have kicked Tammy's door in to gain entry.

Ross was promptly charged with the misdemeanor crime of entering a building with unlawful intent.

Last Saturday (3/24), police were again called to Tammy's residence.

According to the responding officer, he listened to approximately 30 voice mail messages left by Ross on Tammy's answering machine.

The officer made the following notations; "While listening to the messages (Tammy) became visibly upset and began crying at one point. She said she has had to quit her job and is moving out of state due to this." The officer also noted that Ross made several threats against Tammy in his recorded messages.

Yesterday (3/29/), the Cleveland County district attorney's office filed a misdemeanor charge of stalking against Ross.

A warrant has been issued for Ross's arrest and bond has been denied until arraignment.

Ladies - Don't say we didn't warn you!
