Stalking Incident Involving Post Malone: Importance of Addressing Stalking Behavior and Protecting Victims
Police body camera footage recently obtained shows the arrest of Cherish Gomer, a 31-year-old woman accused of stalking music artist Post Malone at his Utah residence. Gomer is currently in custody at the Salt Lake County Jail, facing six felony charges, including multiple counts of felony stalking. She is set to appear in court on Friday. The video captured by Cottonwood Heights Police depicts officers confronting Gomer outside Malone's home in the early hours of February 1, 2025, marking the third time she had trespassed on the property that month. Subsequent arrests followed in February and July, with the most recent incident occurring on August 5, where she allegedly jumped in front of Malone's car. Court documents indicate Gomer's obsession with the singer, leading to her current felony stalking charges. Former prosecutor Nathan Evershed highlighted the seriousness of the charges and the need to address stalking behavior promptly and decisively. Gomer's case serves as a reminder of the importance of taking stalking seriously and utilizing available legal tools to protect victims and ensure public safety. Reporting stalking incidents early and consistently is crucial, and Evershed advised involving law enforcement and the prosecutor's office immediately if faced with such behavior. Gomer remains in custody without bail, facing potential imprisonment if convicted of the recent felony charges.
