PETERSEN v. STATE

12/20/1996

etersen's car pass back and forth in front of the Alaska Athletic Club, where she was working part-time. Throughout the fall and winter, R.H. often saw Petersen watching her at the Kanady Clinic and at the athletic club.


On January 6, 1993, R.H. encountered Petersen at an intersection near her home. Petersen attempted to ram R.H.'s car with his. R.H. sped home, with Petersen following her. R.H. got inside her house and called the police. When the police contacted Petersen, he denied being in the area. Then he told the officer that he and R.H. had had an affair, and he accused R.H. of making false accusations against him in order to cover up her other extramarital affairs.


The next day, R.H. saw Petersen pacing back and forth across the street from the Kanady Clinic; he was watching her. R.H. called her husband, who immediately drove to the clinic. By the time he arrived, Petersen was gone.


For his attempt to ram R.H.'s car, Petersen was convicted of assault. Sentenced on April 7, 1993, Petersen was placed on five years' probation and ordered to have no contact with R.H., "including not being within one block of her places of employment or residence."


On May 29, 1993, R.H. encountered Petersen as she entered the Carrs grocery in Eagle River. Petersen stood directly in front of R.H.; she told him to "just keep going", but he responded, "I was here first." R.H. raised her voice and again told Petersen to "just keep going". Petersen walked back toward the cash registers, and R.H. lost track of him. When she had finished shopping and was leaving the store, R.H. noticed that Petersen was in the store's coffee shop. As she got in her car, she looked back at Petersen, and he "flipped off".


On June 21, 1993, R.H. had dinner with a friend at the Regal Alaskan Hotel . As the two women walked out of the hotel toward R.H.'s car, R.H. looked up and saw Petersen walking toward them. Petersen approached within "touching distance". R.H. said to him, "You are the biggest creep in the universe." In response, Petersen began to berate R.H., repeatedly calling her a "whore". R.H. became scared, fearful that Petersen intended to assault her again. R.H. and her friend got into R.H.'s car, then drove to the front of the hotel where the friend's car was parked. They observed Petersen standing outside the hotel entrance, watching them. Petersen ran across the street and into a park, where he hid in some bushes. Petersen then got into his car and followed the two women as they drove out of the parking lot in their respective cars. R.H. drove home and called the police.


On July 11, 1993, R.H. attended the Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River with her children. She again encountered Petersen. Petersen passed R.H. "within touching distance", but did not speak to her; he then walked away. R.H. called the police on her cellular phone and waited for them to respond. While she waited, Petersen came back through the crowd and passed in front of R.H. and her children, glaring at them. The police never responded to R.H.'s call, so she left the festival. Petersen watched her as she left.


One week later, on July 18, 1993, Anchorage Police Officer Lise Shore saw Petersen's car on the Old Glenn Highway, near R.H.'s home. Petersen slowed his car as if to turn onto R.H.'s street, then drove past and turned onto another street, Amnundson Road. Officer Shore then saw Petersen come back out of Amnundson Road, reenter the Old Glenn Highway, and turn onto R.H.'s street. Following Petersen, Shore turned onto R.H.'s street and then drove up R.H.'s
driveway. In the driveway, she encountered Petersen, who was coming out of the driveway. Petersen attempted to drive around
