OTTUMWA – An Ottumwa man is now facing several charges after police say he ignored multiple no-contact orders and harassed a woman continually, eventually crashing his vehicle into her car.

According to court records, 43-year-old Timothy Jordan of Ottumwa violated 3 no-contact orders by sending a “very large number” of text messages to the victim. In the messages, Jordan allegedly asked the victim for her location while insulting her and threatening to assault people she knew, all while pleading to work on their relationship. Jordan is also accused of arriving at various places including the victim’s mother’s residence.

Police say that on May 30, the sequence culminated in Jordan ramming his vehicle into the victim’s vehicle on East 2nd Street in Ottumwa.

Ultimately, Jordan was arrested on Monday and charged with stalking, a Class C Felony, as well as violation of a no-contact order and third-degree harassment. He is being held in the Wapello County Jail on a $10,000 bond with a preliminary hearing set for June 12.
