A 27-year-old man is facing six felony charges after stalking and deliberately ramming his wife’s car then attempting to cut his own wrists Friday night, according to the Warsaw Police Department.

Siamuel A. Stemen, of Plymouth, Ind., allegedly followed his estranged wife when she left work at around 5 p.m. Friday while a protective order was in place. Stemen then followed her through downtown yelling through the window. He then drove up next to her vehicle and swerved into the driver’s side of the car twice, according to Warsaw Police. This forced the woman to drive off the road and Stemen drove off.

Stemen called his estranged wife while she was talking to authorities. Police answered the call and requested that Stemen report to the Warsaw Police Department. Stemen replied saying he had called the wrong number. Police were able to track the cell phone call and send out a description of Stemen’s vehicle.

Stemen was eventually located in Edweardsburg, Mich. after attempting to cut his wrists. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is now being held at the Cass County Jail. Stemen faces charges of domestic battery, criminal recklessness with a motor vehicle, criminal stalking, invasion of privacy, criminal mischief and resisting law enforcement.
