Sofía Medeles (Ajijic).- An alleged stalker who was detained by police after he was chased and beaten by angry residents was released from custody after authorities said they had received no official complaints.
The individual, identified as Leo »N», had been accused of taking photographs and posting them without peoples’ consent. He was freed after serving 36 hours for an “administrative offense.”
The alleged stalker was arrested on Tuesday, May 31, outside the Italo hotel where he was staying in the center of Ajijic. According to Ramón Gabriel Cerna Sánchez, deputy director of Public Security of Chapala, there had been earlier complaints on social networks about a man with similar characteristics to the individual under arrest.
Ajijic Acting Delegate Maximiano Macías Arceo, said that while he had no precise information about the young man, his behavior appeared to suggest he suffered from mental problems.
Several people said they had contacted Macías Arceo to file a complaint against the young man with the Public Ministry. But no complaint reached the ministry, authorities said.
A source at the Italo hotel said the man had stayed there for about two months. While he was never aggressive or harassing, he was “rather distant.”
One of those whose photos were published said: “It alarms you, because they are exposing your image and what places you travel – along with a serious accusation.
“But from what (was) published, it is evident that he is not very well in the head. His family is the one that should be looking out for him, given his condition.”
Marcela Montaño, a psychologist, said that while she could not give a specific diagnosis, her advice for dealing with a mentally unstable person would be to avoid them to avert a dangerous situation..
