PETERSEN v. STATE

12/20/1996

. would not see him as a friend and as a therapist. R.H. told Petersen she would not explain anymore; she just wanted Petersen to leave her alone. R.H. finally gathered her children and left the rodeo. Petersen left the rodeo and followed R.H. in his car, but R.H. lost him by driving faster than normal.


Later in 1991, Petersen confronted R.H. as she was leaving the Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River. Petersen (who was in his vehicle) pulled up next to R.H. as she was walking with her children. Petersen again demanded to know why R.H. refused to speak with him. This conversation ended when R.H. called to her husband for help. R.H.'s husband ran across the parking lot, kicked Petersen's car, then grabbed Petersen and told him to stay away from R.H. and their family.


Following this encounter, R.H. spoke again to Dr. Kanady about Petersen's behavior. On July 1, 1991, Kanady directed the clinic's attorney to send Petersen a letter "firing" him as a patient at the clinic.


On the same day this letter was drafted, R.H. telephoned Petersen; Dr. Kanady, Kanady's wife, and Anchorage Police Officer Paul T. Morino were in the room, listening on the speakerphone. R.H. told Petersen that she wanted him to stay away from her and that she did not want to see him, either as a patient or as a friend. Petersen said that he understood and that he would stay away.


However, Petersen continued to show up outside the Kanady Clinic and at other places where R.H. went. On a Saturday in the fall of 1991, R.H. spotted Petersen sitting in his car behind a gas station across the street from the Kanady Clinic. Petersen was watching R.H., and R.H. could see "some big camera lens or telescope of some sort" in Petersen's car. Later that fall, R.H. encountered Petersen as she was driving from her home toward the Old Glenn Highway. R.H. drove north on the Old Glenn to lose Petersen, then circled back to the police substation in Eagle River. Despite R.H.'s evasive efforts, Petersen was able to follow her; he eventually arrived at the substation, where R.H. pointed him out to the police as the man who was following her. The officer on duty at the substation later telephoned Petersen, telling him that R.H. was fearful of him and that he should stay away from her.


In the early morning hours of January 6, 1992, R.H. and her husband noticed the taillights of a vehicle in their driveway. When they turned on the outside floodlight, they saw a car that looked like Petersen's. The car left the driveway, and R.H. and her husband went back to bed. About twenty minutes later, R.H.'s husband heard a car coming up the driveway. Taking a gun, he went outside and sneaked up to the car. The driver of the car was Petersen. Petersen apparently heard the husband's approach; he looked over his shoulder, saw R.H.'s husband, and quickly drove out of the driveway. R.H.'s husband fired two shots into a snowbank as Petersen's car pulled away.


As a result of this incident, Petersen was convicted of trespass. On April 3, 1992, he received a suspended imposition of sentence;
one of his conditions of probation was that he not go to R.H.'s residence.


Two months later, on June 5, 1992, R.H. and her children attended the Renaissance Fair in Anchorage. R.H. spotted Petersen in the distance. He began circling through the crowd, moving toward R.H. and her children until he was within touching distance. R.H. began screaming for Petersen to get away from her. With the crowd now staring, Petersen backed away. R.H. took her children and left. As she was leaving, she looked and saw Petersen watching her; she ran to her car.


On August 27, 1992, R.H. called the police after seeing P
