Some choice highlights:

Leaflets [made by crazy mom] went to neighbouring houses warning that a sex offender had moved onto their street.

On Valentine’s Day, wives in the neighbourhood received romantic cards apparently signed by Mr. Rice [the couple] when he had done no such thing.

Then someone put an ad online inviting high school teenagers to a New Year’s Eve party at their home. On July 4, their address was advertised as giving away free fireworks. Religious organizations were also invited.

Ms. Rowe [the crazy mom] posed online as Ms. Ruhter [the couple] and sent her address to one man instructing: “I like to be surprised and have a man just show up at the door and force his way in the door.”

She pleaded guilty to stalking and was sentenced last month to one year of home electronic surveillance and five years probation. A judge ordered her to stay away from the couple for 10 years.

Best part is her quote:

“I may be the least liked person in San Diego County. A horrible, evil person who wanted to harm this nice couple. I did not intend to harm them.”
