Jeffrey Lynn Shaver, Harrington, cyberstalking (5 counts) and communication with a minor for immoral purposes, all dismissed with the prosecuting attorney retaining the right to re-file at a later time. “The State has requested further investigation by the Sheriff’s Office to obtain evidence tracing the computer-generated messages at issue to (Shaver),” the court record noted. “Additional time is necessary in the event that such evidence may require forensic examination of (Shaver’s) computer.
