GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—Prosecutors have filed charges alleging Mesa County’s former landfill manager stalked another county employee’s wife, with whom he had had an affair.
Bob Edmiston was charged Wednesday with stalking, embezzlement of public property, official misconduct, three counts of harassment and second-degree tampering. He is accused of attaching a county-owned GPS unit to the woman’s car and calling or sending hundreds of messages to the woman and her husband over several months.
A county spokeswoman says Edmiston was dismissed without severance pay Tuesday for violating county policy. She didn’t specify the violation.
Edmiston is free on bond. He was in court Wednesday with his wife and his attorney but didn’t address the judge.
