Conviction Of Man Who Sent Snake To Former Girlfriend Upheld

The 2nd District Court of Appeals has ruled the stalking conviction of an Elkhart Lake man was appropriate.  Eric Burrows had been accused of sending threatening messages to his former girlfriend.  He was also in trouble for sending a box to her apartment complex containing a live snake, a ball python.  Prosecutors say the messages Burrows sent asked her to resume their relationship, but others also accused her of lying and cheating on him.  An attorney for Burrows told the Wisconsin appeals court authorities had no probable cause to arrest his client.
