Two accused of stalking their exes
NORWICH – The Norwich Police Department apprehended two men Wednesday in separate cases – both allegedly stalked and committed violent crimes against women.
Jason Doliver, 27, of 10 Northrup Ave., Norwich, was charged with two felonies and four lesser crimes for allegedly chasing a woman across the city of Norwich, in a vehicle pursuit that police say included Doliver ramming the victim’s vehicle with his own and taking her cell phone in order to keep her from calling 911.
“All in defiance of a court order of protection forbidding him from having contact with the victim,” said First Assistant District Attorney Stephen M. Dunshee.
Doliver appeared in Norwich City court at Thursday morning before Judge James Downey for his felony hearing.
Doliver’s defense attorney Steven Natoli said the alleged victim had a prior relationship with his client and that they had a child together. Natoli also said the alleged victim in the case had given his client permission to contact her in denial of the court order.
“She might of said it was OK, but I’ll tell you right out of the box it’s not OK, not unless you hear it from this bench,” said Downey, who issued another order of protection requiring Doliver to stay away from the victim and any children they had together.
Doliver rolled his eyes at the decision, and Downey noted it to the court.
“Don’t be rolling your eyes acting like you’re a victim here. You’re not a victim. You are a defendant in a very serious case,” he said threatening to deny the $2,500 cash bail.
“If you violate this order of protection, you will not get bail in this case, period,” said the judge.
Sgt. Gard Turner was working the Norwich Police Department’s front desk when they become notified of a suspicious argument in the NBT parking lot.
The incident began Wednesday morning when police received an strange cell phone call. At around 8:20 a.m., a call came into the 911 call center without a caller on the line. However, dispatchers could overhear what sounded like a heated argument. In the minutes following, they received additional calls from concerned citizens who said they were witnessing a violent argument in the NBT parking lot between a man and a woman.
Later, the victim told police Doliver grabbed the cell phone from her as she was calling 911 for help. The call did in fact get connected, but the victim said she was not aware if it had or not. After arguing with Doliver, the woman told police he agreed to return the victim’s phone and that’s when she decided to leave, said Turner.
“The PD had patrols respond to the scene, but were unable to locate the subjects when they arrived at NBT,” said Turner. Witnesses who saw the incident take place told police the woman had her SUV rammed by Doliver’s pick-up truck as she attempted to flee the scene. Turner said over $2,100 worth of damage was done to the woman’s vehicle.
After leaving the NBT parking lot, Doliver continued to follow the woman in his pick up as she headed south on South Broad Street, said police.
The chase continued for a few minutes, even after the victim turned her SUV around in the Quickway parking lot and began heading back towards the City of Norwich. The victim said at this point she had decided to drive to the Norwich Police Department and even attempted to signal police cruisers as she passed them near NBT. However, police were already on the lookout for the two vehicles.
“Patrols noticed the two suspicious vehicles as the ones described by eyewitnesses and they immediately pulled the pursuing pick-up truck over, while the victim continued to the station and was met by officers,” said Turner.
Officer Justin Carpenter, who pulled Doliver’s pick-up over, said the defendant cooperated with police during his arrest.
After making the arrest, police were told by the victim that the dispute had not started in the NBT parking lot, but at a local elementary school.
“The victim was at Gibson Elementary School dropping off her child, who is not related to the defendant, when he sought her out and approached her in the parking lot,” said Turner.
“The defendant followed the victim from Gibson to the NBT Bank parking lot where she got out to tell him to leave her alone and dialed police,” said Turner.

Also arrested Wednesday was Douglas J. Wilkinson, 28, of South Plymouth. Wilkinson is charged with second degree burglary, second degree criminal contempt, both felonies and fourth degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.
Turner said police arrested Wilkinson after he allegedly broke into an ex-girlfriend’s residence at 3 a.m. Feb. 28.
He also appeared in court before Downey and the judge said the defendant broke a door lock and window while executing the crime and was under prior orders to leave the victim alone.
Wilkinson appeared in court with his public defender, James Cameron, to plead guilty to the mischief charge in a plea agreement with the DA’s office, but the judge questioned the agreement. It would have required Wilkinson spend 60 days in local jail.
“I don’t know Mr. Wilkinson, you broke into your ex’s apartment at 3 a.m. in the morning and assaulted her, broke her cell phone, preventing her from calling police,” said the judge.
“If we lived in Texas, she could have blown you away and they’d give her a medal for it. In New York, it’s not that different and she would have been in her full rights to do so. That’s the kind of thing we’re dealing with here, sir,” said Downey.
Downey said he would reserve on his decision until he could learn more about Wilkinson’s past offenses. The judge said that in six to seven weeks, a full report on the defendant would be completed by the Probation Department and at that time he’d review the case.
He was remanded to the Chenango County Correction Facility on $5,00 cash bail and will appear in court at a later date.
Police said both men were charged with a relatively new crime in, fourth degree criminal mischief, which makes it a misdemeanor to prevent another person from contacting authorities.
“Situation like these, and defendants such as these are exactly why laws like this are passed. They’re poster boys for violence against women,” said Turner.
