Valentine, Machete, Brass Knuckles Found in Stalker's Car, Police Say

Flint Andrew Staton, of Montgomery County, was arrested in Emmaus after a police officer saw him following his estranged wife to work, according to court documents.

A 30-year-old Montgomery County man stalked his estranged wife while driving a car filled with weapons including three large knives, brass knuckles, a stun gun baton—and a Valentine's card, according to court records.

He was wearing body armor under his clothes when he was arrested by Emmaus Police, and a handgun was later found in the car, the court records say.

Flint Andrew Staton, of 221 Fulmer Road, Perkiomenville, was arrested last week after a police officer saw him following his estranged wife, Anne Staton, to work.

Staton had an outstanding arrest warrant against him stemming from a Jan. 31 incident, court records say. According to the criminal complaint, Staton had sent his estranged wife numerous texts and emails at "unreasonable hours."

Police later searched Staton’s car and found a Valentine's Day card with the title, "A Promise For My Wife," and nearly 40 pieces of paper they say showed numerous forms of violence and killing, according to The Morning Call. Also allegedly found in the vehicle were a Kevlar military helmet, a handgun shoulder harness, two wigs, binoculars, duct tape, gloves and a large machete.

Staton has two active Protection From Abuse orders against him in Montgomery County prohibiting him from possessing any firearms or other weapons, according to court records.

Staton is in Lehigh County Prison on $1 million bail after his arraignment last Thursday night before District Judge David Howells.

Arrests do not indicate a conviction.

Ahhhhhhhh, February, the month where love fills the air...*sigh*. No one can say that this guy isn't a romantic. Look at the gifts her was going to give her! He put a lot more thought into his Valentine's day gifts, rather than giving her a simple box of chocolate.

I only poke fun because the guy got caught before he did anything thank God!

Everybody says "legalize it and tax it." That's just an oxymoron = once it is legal = youRead More can grow it in your back yard for free. Big Brother makes so much more already by enforcing the established laws, set up with the sole desire to incarcerate the addicted, that there will always be a fictional "War on Drugs."

Yes, and the person next to you drinking cannabis tea, does not effect you. The person who justRead More vaporized, does not effect you. Those hash oil tablets I just ate, won't effect you. Non-smoking means non-smoking - if there is someone smoking next to you, get out of the smoking section. You are right, marijuana is not like alcohol. If I were sitting next to you while I was high, and you annoyed the piss out of me by complaining about smokers in place that obviously allows smoking, I would just laugh it off or move away. I could smoke all night, and my mood would not change. If I were to drink, and keep drinking, eventually I would get confrontational, and we would be fighting. So, the guy next to you drinking can indeed effect you.

You fail to realize that making somthing illegal instantly makes that product very expensive on theRead More black market.......this is where crime takes hold.......Remember Al Capone and the mafia were most powerful during the prohibition of alcohol......and considering Pennsylvania garners high tax revenue from alcohol sales in state stores.....your suggestion is foolish...........This is AMERICA land of the FREE.......dont tell people how to live you dirty commie

Economics is over my head...I won't even attempt to analyze it, let alone debate on it...All I knowRead More is I make sure there is food on the table through prudent budgeting. I do want to express my excitement when the Phillies win games...Yesterday was majorly exciting with Galvis hitting that walk off home run following Kratz's whopper to tie the game!..But must the team have to wait for the last inning to do it?..Keep it up, Phillies.

Tea Party groups are all very separate with separate missions. I understand the ones targeted wereRead More seeking the tax free charitable status because their stated mission is to educate about issues. They are not an actual "political" party. They will usually look favorably upon any candidate for lower taxes and smaller government.At least that is my understanding.

Kilgore what you are saying is the equivalent of saying that women who dress provocatively inviteRead More sexual harassment or rape.

Not sure which scandal will be this administrations undoing, Benghazi or the IRS targetingRead More conservative groups. And it is still so early in his second term...
