A Phoenix man who spent a good portion of 2011 stalking his ex-girlfriend was in Maricopa County Superior Court this morning where he pleaded not guilty to
Since July, Phoenix police have received at least 33 reports that Gregg
Pfeifer, 35, has been stalking a former girlfriend. He's allegedly made
multiple harassing phone calls, drives by the victim's house repeatedly,
and has sent several threatening emails.
On the morning of December 27, police say Pfeifer set the victim's car on fire...again.

gambling at the Fort McDowell Casino, despite video surveillance footage
showing him start the fire and purchase the gasoline.
The victims currently have three orders of protection against Pfeifer -- and he's apparently not too happy about it.
On his Facebook page, Pfeifer posted the following about the victim and her family: "g
