ELYRIA – The ex-girlfriend of former Lorain police officer Corey Earl has obtained a civil stalking protection order against him.

Nadine Glass obtained the protection order at a hearing Friday during which she presented a two-page document listing Earl’s alleged harassment of her dating back to May.

Under the terms of the order, Earl must stay 500 feet away from Glass, and he isn’t permitted to possess a firearm.

Glass wrote that Earl, 47, routinely drives by her home, regularly sends her text messages ranging from angry to threatening to apologetic to delusional, calls her repeatedly and is stalking her and her children.

She said they haven’t dated in more than a year.

Glass accused Earl, who took disability retirement earlier this year after suffering a series of strokes last summer, of leaving a rose on the windshield of her car while it was parked in her garage on Mother’s Day.

He also knocked on her door two weeks later and asked to be let inside, leaving only because she threatened to call police, according to Glass. She said after Earl left, he went to her ex-husband’s home and began crying.

Glass also said Earl began calling her new boyfriend’s work and leaving him messages saying he needed to warn him about her.

Glass also said Earl followed her on June 10 and began honking his horn at her.

Earl also allegedly left clothing, including new underwear that did not belong to her, on her driveway while she was away on vacation. Her ex-husband found the underwear when he and her children went to her house to feed her dogs.

Glass said in the court documents that she had asked Earl’s friends, including attorney Mike Duff, to get him to stop harassing her.

Duff called Glass’s allegations “not truthful.”

“He has not been harassing her and has not been bothering her,” he said.

This isn’t the first time Glass has made a complaint against Earl. Late last year, she filed a complaint with Lorain police accusing him of leaving her unwanted voicemails and text messages. Earl wasn’t charged in that case, but he did plead no contest to telephone harassment in March to making harassing phone calls to his ex-wife, Laura Earl.

Earl avoided jail time and was ordered to pay $250 in fines and Oberlin Municipal Court officials plan to monitor his behavior for the next three years.

Earl’s ex-wife obtained a protection order in the summer of 2007 after he reportedly threatened to kill himself in the couple’s Amherst home.

Charges he had violated that protection order were later dropped.

A county sheriff’s corrections officer also sought – and later dropped -  a protection order against Earl after Earl allegedly told three sheriff’s captains that he was going to beat the corrections officer with a baseball bat.

Earl had a string of disciplinary problems during his final years with the Lorain Police Department, including writing a joke traffic ticket and pulling over his ex-girlfriend’s ex-husband.

A full hearing on the latest protection order, which also bars Earl from coming near Glass’s children, is set for Thursday.
