In December 2022, Bowers called his ex — who lives in Morgan County, WV — 815 times over a two-day period, the prosecutor claimed.

He also reportedly sent her thousands of text messages over several months, and “used social media posts to embarrass her and interfere with her livelihood.”

If convicted, Bowers faces up to five years in prison.

The news has since gone viral on social media, garnering lots of reactions from netizens. “I don’t think I’ve had 800 phone calls in my life,” someone commented.
