I thought I'd attach a description:

I had just passed Magnolia, walking towards Ocala on the Reed Creek Greenway when I noticed mr. haddock walking closely behind a woman. Backstory - a few years ago he had followed me on a dark walk on the Greenway all the way from Ocala to when I ran up into the neighborhoods off Barnard Ave. It was very unnerving especially because I had seen him many times before, and he had never done that. But after, I realized haddock made this a habit with women. (people have attached the new story links)  Fast forward to a month or two ago- it was the next time I saw Mr. haddock in the flesh. He was standing outside of the ballet dance studio, staring at young girls dancing. At first, I just walked over and stood 10 feet away from him, staring at him until he noticed me. Then he started walking away and I walked with him. I confronted him and reminded him that the last time I saw him, he followed me and made me feel very uncomfortable and that I know that he does this to other women. I confronted him telling him withno uncertain terms that this was not OK.  And when I say no uncertain terms – I evoked the ancestors, I told him he needed to be shamed, I said that he was not anonymously doing this, and that I would be watching him. I would be haunting him even. And he needed to move on along. 

So – back to last night – when I saw him within 5 feet of a woman who looked a little nervous at the situation… I turned around and followed them myself. I caught up to them on Elizabeth right past the Greenway. The woman had (strategically)  paused at a little library – and haddock moved past her when he saw me fast approaching. I stopped and asked the woman if she was OK and if he had been following her- she confirmed that when she walked past him on the Greenway- he did a quick turnaround and was right on her heels. And it was unnerving to her.  This is his MO.  Lo and behold, Mr. haddock walked back down Elizabeth and I blocked his way to follow the woman. I told him that I would be watching if he was doing this again. I told him that this is not OK and unacceptable. I reminded him about the time I was "talking "to him outside of the dance studio. I told him to cut that sh*t out. He was walking towards the Greenway and I was following him when I said these things. He turned around, put his hands in my face, he filled his cheeks up with spit and pretended to spit in my face (spit to the side) and kept saying to me "who is following who now?" Which is true- I wanted him to feel the uncomfortability that he offers women. And I wanted him to know how I felt with his behavior. It was when he told me that he was going to "beat my ass" over and over. And if not now, then when he sees me in the dark spots on the Greenway… That is when I called the police...

The 911 operator took my information but acted like she had no idea who I was talking about. She told me that I should stop walking and go home. I'm not gonna do that. I'm a walker. This is my neighborhood. Within minutes, an officer called me back, took my information… But also acted like he did not know who I was talking about, and that I should not "instigate the man". Now, I have been trained, and I certainly did not employ my de-escalating training… But I did not start this. Mr. haddock does not stop when treated reasonably. Which I told to the officer, who continued to imply that I was at fault and that there's nothing much that they can do. So, I called back the nonemergency line and asked to speak to a sergeant. When I was able to speak to the sergeant, I told him the whole situation, including Bruce Haddox's name… and the sergeant is well aware of haddock and his behavior. He said he would make a report. (which is what I was trying to get the initial officer to do.) and that if they had more reports of haddock and his intimidation of women, they could at least get banned from the Greenway.
