Gautier man charged with cyberstalking

By KAREN NELSON
GAUTIER — Jackson County sheriff’s investigators this week arrested Vincent Salvador Drummond, 48, of Gautier and charged him with cyberstalking in connection with the use of cellphone texting.
Drummond was charged as the result of an investigation into several cases of “repeated harassing and threatening electronic communications,” sheriff’s investigators said Friday.

Drummond lives in the 2100 block of Daily Road in Gautier. He was arrested Thursday and posted a $2,500 bond on the same day.

No further arrests are expected in the ongoing investigation, a sheriff’s spokesman said.

The case involved text messaging from a cell phone between Drummond and a member of his family.

“Anything of this nature done from a cell phone is considered cyberstalking these days,” said Capt. Mick Sears, head of the sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division. “Threatening someone or calling repeatedly from a cell phone falls under cyberstalking in the law.”
