Cantonment Man Charged With Felony Stalking Of His Estranged Wife

August 26, 2019

A Cantonment man was charged with felony aggravated stalking for allegedly calling his estranged wife over 50 times, tailgating her to her mother’s house as a deputy watched and following her to a job interview.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from the victim reporting that 43-year  old Guy Maxwell Peters was continuously following her. A deputy arriving in the area observed Peters’ F150 tailgating the victim, some 1-3 inches away from her bumper. The deputy activated his blue lights, and both vehicles continued a short distance to the home of the victim’s mother in Cantonment.

The estranged wife told deputies Peters that she was living with her mother, and Peters had no right to be there. She said she was interviewing for a job on 9th Avenue, and Peters was waiting for her outside the building. When she returned for a second interview, Peters was once again outside waiting, an arrest report states.

Peters had become upset because she requested her half of the money after Peters sold a firearm, the victim said.

A statement Peters gave to deputies was redacted from his arrest report, with the exception of statement that he had given her $40 to “get back on her feet”, and he wanted his $40 back.

Peters was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,000 bond. A restraining order against him has since been issued.

    Beware! Preys on women with emotional problems using his own children as leverage. Has no boundaries! He is a predator!

    He said he did all of this over 40.00. Now that he had to pay 500.00 to get out of jail what do you think he might do? A restraining order doesn’t mean anything to people that do things like this. I hope she keeps a gun close by her at all times and nobody should have to live like that!

    It’s really sad that people do this. I’m glad he is being charged to the fullest and I pray my ex gets his raised to a felony as well. I’m sick of people thinking that stalking is ok. It’s a dibilitating fear that overtime effects that effects you down to your core. When your scared to even walk outside at night or be on the phone where someone might hear you, well it’s just plain torture.

    I wish I would have had a deputy arrest my ex when he stalked me for years…..keyed my car…….followed close and drove erratic while following me, while I had children in the car…….they always told me that he hadn’t done anything to me yet so they couldn’t arrest him even though i had stacks of reports written by each officer that came to my house whenever he was stalking me…….guess that’s not enough……I had a restraining order and all. Glad to see ECSO is finally doing something to help victims.

    Good Job ESC for taking her report seriously and being there to protect her!

    The Office of Victim of Crimes reports that during a 12-month period, 3.4 million individuals over the age of 18 are stalked in the United States.

    If you are a victim of stalking there is help out there. You are not alone.
