Franklin Alvarez harasses ex-girlfriend for not paying his rent

33-year-old Franklin Alvarez was caught harassing his ex-girlfriend, Elsa Lopez, on March 7th. Lopez informed law enforcement that when she declined to pay Alvarez’s rent, Alvarez threatened her son. When Lopez blocked Alvarez, he called her from another number, so Lopez’s friend answered for her. Lopez’s friend told Alvarez that this was her number and told him not to call it anymore. Alvarez proceeded to call ten times and sent text messages pretending to be her apartment officer. Lopez told officers that his constant attempts at communication put her in fear for her safety. Alvarez was taken into custody on March 10th and charged with Harassment.
