A Tennessee court has issued a permanent restraining order against Katherine Walker, prohibiting her from coming near Gary Allan or his property. The 47-year-old Walker represented herself in court, according to The Tennessean (Nashville newspaper).
Allan claims Walker has stalked him for four years. On May 4 she was arrested after burglarizing and vandalizing Allan's Hendersonville, Tenn., home. She was caught on video breaking a window, throwing potted plants outside the house and tossing patio furniture into the pool.
Walker took the stand insisting she was the real victim. She claimed Allan was the one stalking her, calling her up to ten times per day, emailing her incessantly and even bugging her phones. Allan denied those accusations.
"You scare me," Allan said directly to his stalker. "I've never talked to you. I've never read your e-mails."
"How could our perceptions be so different?" Walker asked while cross-examining Allan.
"I am baffled by that myself," Allan answered. "Anyone that wants to hurt you or violate your home is scary ... It freaks me out that you come to my house at all."
The restraining order against Walker was placed into effect immediately. While Allan's civil suit now comes to a close, Walker still faces an arraignment for criminal charges.
