An Natchez man faces a stalking charge after his arrest. The case involves Sim Mosby, who resigned from Silas and Simmons LLP two years ago. According to an accountant at the firm, Mosby repeatedly drove in front of the business. The accountant said Mosby got in his face at a public event and threatened him last year.
The accountant also alleged that Mosby began parking outside the firm for long periods starting in August. The accountant further stated that Mosby flipped him off in traffic last week, then made a U-turn and tailgated him for three to four miles while flashing his headlights. Mosby was arrested Saturday, with bonds set at $250.
