We’re learning more about the man accused of stalking a popular Twin Cities radio host, causing her to take a leave of absence.

On Wednesday, Mary Lucia from The Current posted a blog on the station’s website saying she’s been the victim of a stalker for the last year.

Prosecutors have charged an Eden Prairie man in the case. His trial is set to begin next week.  On Thursday, WCCO-TV took a look at what court documents reveal.

In a letter to her fans, Mary Lucia describes how a stranger has tormented her.

“This has been a tough year for me,” she said. “I have been stalked, by someone I do not know, at both work and home.”

She added: “My life over the last year has involved a series of restraining orders, seemingly endless calls to 911.”

Police say 56-year-old Patrick Henry Kelly of Eden Prairie is the accused stalker.

He’s now faces a felony charge.
