Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. BRIGHAM CITY, Utah () — In Davis and Weber Counties, residents are raising concerns over a convicted stalker being out on the streets again. 49-year-old Chad Flitton's name is resurfacing following a recent arrest on June 7th. Court documents say a Brigham City Police officer responded to a request to trespass a man at a business in Brigham City. When he located the man, he identified him as Flitton and arrested him for violating a protective order. The protective order had a stipulation that prevented him from possessing any weapons, along with the possession and use of drugs. Flitton was allegedly found with a katana-style sword in his possession and what the officer believed to be methamphetamine.

At the time, he was already convicted of stalking in September 2017. Flitton pleaded guilty to following several teenagers around a Harmons in Farmington in 2019. One victim from the case spoke with ABC4, but wanted to keep her identity a secret. 'I noticed that this guy was following us, and I got really uncomfortable, and I just knew something wasn't right. And we walked up to go to the bathroom, and I didn't want to go alone. So two of our other friends came with me,' the anonymous victim said. She and her friends were in 8th grade at the time. The anonymous victim said that Flitton had a disturbing reason that they were being followed by him. 'We were in the elevator, and he ended up in the elevator with us, and he said God had sent him to us to have sex with us, and then we walked up into the bathroom and he tried to get into our bathroom,' she said.
