Alan Thomas Huch (Huch), appeals the trial court's order granting the appellee, Susan Sareena Marrs' (Marrs) petition

Question:

Alan Thomas Huch ("Huch"), appeals the trial court's order granting the appellee, Susan Sareena Marrs' ("Marrs") petition for an injunction against repeat violence. We affirm.

Huch's harassment continued and became so overwhelming, that Marrs moved to Florida in 2001 in an attempt to flee from Huch. In July of 2002, Huch found Marrs through the internet and showed up at her residence in Miami. Huch again posed as a flower delivery man to get past security. Fearing for her safety, Marrs called the police. Huch admitted to the police that he had obsessive feelings for Marrs. She was understandably scared that Huch was constantly watching her and had followed her half-way across the country. Marrs believed that Huch was delusional, that his obsessive behavior was increasing, and that his behavior had the potential to escalate....
