A Peachtree City man is free

on $83,000 bond after violating a judge's order to refrain from contacting

his estranged wife last week, police said.

James Fredrick Roth, 41, came

across the victim by chance at the intersection of Ga. Highway 54 and

Burch Road last Wednesday, police said. Roth and his estranged wife were

both in their own vehicles at the time, said Sgt. Belinda McCastle of

the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

According to warrants, Roth

contacted the victim "for purposes of harassing and intimidating

her."

Roth had been admonished earlier

this year to refrain from contacting his wife in connection with other

criminal charges, according to court records.

Roth was arrested at the scene.

He is charged with felony counts of aggravated stalking and possession

of cocaine and one misdemeanor charge of possession of a drug-related

object. The latter charges stem from items found at Roth's business,

Homebodies in Fayetteville, and his residence in Peachtree City, reports

stated.

The bond on the aggravated

stalking count alone was $50,000 with the rest for the cocaine and drug-related

object charges. The bond was ordered by Magistrate James A. White.
