26-year-old Jacob Young was taken into custody for stalking on May 25th. On May 24th, Jasmine Costabile, Young’s ex-girlfriend, called the police to a Fernbank Drive residence. Costabile advised officers that Young had messaged her 43 times since April 11th, when she told him she did not want any more contact with him. She added that he showed up at her job at The Hustlers Club on Representative John Lewis Way South, where she notified her supervisor to have him leave as soon as he entered the bar. Costabile stated she had since changed jobs, adding that she now works at Midnight Express in Smithville, TN, which Young visited on May 17th when she wasn’t working. Costabile’s coworkers told her that Young asked them if she was there. Then, she said he had visited her residence three times since they had broken up. James Pruett, her roommate, confirmed that Young arrived at their home, adamant to speak with Costabile, but once Pruett mentioned getting the police involved, he left. Costabile said that on May 24th, she received multiple text messages from him stating he was in love with her. Following the investigation, officers obtained an arrest warrant for Young. He was later detained for the occurrence.
