Man Arrested For Stalking Jewel

A man charged with stalking JEWEL has told authorities he was led to the singer’s home on a mission from God.

Michael Lawrance Kozelka was arrested last week (ends20Sep09) after showing up at the Texas ranch Jewel shares with her rodeo star husband Ty Murray.

The Wisconsin man was told to stay away from the property on 14 September (09) but returned the next day with a pocket knife and a dog.

Kozelka did not resist arrest, according to Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant.

Bryant adds, “He was not aggressive and was not mad. He just said he was on a mission from God, that God told him to come to Stephenville and led him to this ranch.”

Kozelka, who was charged with stalking, is currently behind bars in Stephenville, Texas on $30,000 (£20,000) bond.
