Putnam County authorities arrested a Harriman man Monday for aggravated stalking, driving under the influence, and evading arrest.

Pendergrass was dressed in all black, including a black toboggan cap.
Authorities noticed that Pendergrass had constricted pupils and red watery glassy eyes. Pendergrass also failed three field sobriety tasks.
Upon a search of the vehicle, authorities found a stun gun and 9mm ammunition.
The victim had observed Pendergrass near his home on N. Dixie Ave around 5:30 AM that morning. Pendergrass had another pending aggravated stalking charge against the victim’s former spouse in Putnam County.
Authorities booked Pendergrass into the Putnam County Jail on a $52,000 bond.
