GLOCESTER – A woman who reportedly told police she wanted her ex-boyfriend to pay for how he’d treated her was arrested last month and charged with stalking, as was the person who gave her rides to the man’s Glocester home.
Madison Dalmer, 27, of East Providence, and Michael Pryharski, 67, of Blackstone, Mass. are both facing the felony charge, along with a misdemeanor count for obstructing an officer, after repeatedly claiming to be father and daughter, according to police.
The arrest report notes that the homeowner used his vehicle to block Pryharski’s Volkswagon in the driveway of his Glocester residence around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 15, and called police.
His son would later tell officers the pair had been to the house more than 20 times over the past year, harassing the family, driving on the lawn while beeping the horn, and possibly damaging a new girlfriend’s property.
Officers dispatched to the house first spoke with the homeowner, who said he’d seen Pryharski’s vehicle multiple times, and also caught it on security cameras. They then spoke to Pryharski, who said he was there to walk his dog in the woods, and that the passenger in the car was his daughter. Dalmer affirmed the false identity, providing information for “Julia Pryharski.”
An officer suspected that they were lying and noted that when asked quickly, Palmer was unable to provide the same date of birth. Both were detained, and the homeowner identified Dalmer as his son’s ex-girlfriend.
Dalmer then admitted she felt hurt and scorned because the son had cheated on her and left her, reportedly telling police the ex “got away” with what he did to her, and hadn’t “paid” for his actions.
She said she and Pryharski had been to the Glocester home four or five times, and that Pryharski would also sometimes go there alone and then call her.
Pryharski admitted he had been there several times, and reportedly said he did so because Dalmer had PTSD.
The ex later went to the police station to provide a statement also documenting the stalking, saying the pair would visit his family’s home at all hours of the night, and that he believed they also let the air out of his new girlfriend’s tires. He said Dalmer had called him more than 1,000 times, that he had blocked her phone number, and that he wished to press charges.
Both Dalmer and Pryharski were released on $5,000 personal recognizance with domestic no contact orders and are due back in court in May.
