Stalking Incident Involving Post Malone: Woman Arrested in Cottonwood Heights
A woman was arrested in Cottonwood Heights for stalking singer and Utah native, Post Malone. The woman, identified as Cherish Gomer, had been showing up at Malone's home multiple times, causing significant distress to him and his family. Despite previous arrests, Gomer continued her behavior, leading to her latest arrest after jumping in front of Malone's car. She has a history of stalking and criminal trespass cases dating back to January, with a permanent protective order issued in February.
Cottonwood Heights police expressed concern over Gomer's delusions, believing she has a spiritual connection with Post Malone that justifies her actions. Gomer faces charges of stalking with a prior conviction and violating a permanent criminal stalking injunction. Police emphasized the need to protect both Malone and Gomer from potential harm.
Gomer is currently held without bail at the Salt Lake County Jail, while Malone is set to continue his tour schedule. The ongoing situation highlights the seriousness of stalking cases and the importance of addressing mental health issues to prevent further harm.
