Rios drove his car into defendant's car. Defendant claimed that he got out of his car and tried to get Rios' insurance information, but Rios and Renteria laughed at him and ignored his request. Defendant claimed that Rios' car came toward him and tapped his legs as he returned to his car. Defendant unsuccessfully tried to call the police, so he drove to the police station. Defendant was at the station filling out an accident report when he was arrested for stalking Rios.
Defendant challenges the constitutionality of the stalking statute on several grounds.
He further argues that the statute is overbroad because it can be applied to constitutionally protected conduct. Following those cases, we reject defendant's argument that the statute can be applied to innocent or constitutionally protected conduct. The conduct must be accompanied by evidence of a threat of harm or of placing the victim in reasonable apprehension of harm. The State must plead and prove each essential element of the offense. 277 Ill. App.
