Former Welsh alderman arrested again

Former Welsh alderman Jacob Colby Perry was arrested Wednesday on multiple charges including violating a protective order, cyberstalking and nonconsensual disclosure of a private image.
Police Chief Marcus Crochet said the charges stem from a complaint that Perry violated stipulations the judge had placed on him following a similar arrest last November.
Perry was arrested this week on two counts of violating protective
orders, telephone harassment, and two counts of cyberstalking and nonconsensual disclosure of a private image.
He was arrested on similar charges last November after the Welsh Police Department received a complaint from a male victim that his explicit photos were being published online by Perry after he made a fake profile of the victim.
The victim had repeatedly asked Perry to stop and take the images down.
Perry served on the Welsh Board of Aldermen from 2017-2020 and unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2012.
