Court documents indicated other command staff members received similar messages, but Steele is only charged with stalking Frausto. Those claims included that Frausto had used her previous position as fire marshal to order maximum fines be assessed at an ex-partner’s workplace and that there had been allegations of physical abuse from another former partner.Frausto first received a text message on March 9 telling her to check her email for a message from earlier in the day.
On March 16, “Frank” sent Frausto another email demanding a response within 24 hours “outlining your plan of action to address these allegations” and warning that “the clock is ticking.”On March 22, she received another message from a new email address showing a news release that the sender claimed would go out to national and local news outlets “within the next few weeks.”
