Derbyshire was off-duty Oct. 8 when she spotted James Carol!, a man wanted on a $50,000 warrant for stalking a San Jose State University student and violat- ing a restraining order, Derbyshire said. The warrant was issued one year ago, and the UPD had no luck finding Carol!. "Everyone knew about him and we all wanted to catch him," Derbyshire said. Caroll had been stalking an SJSU student for one year, and had been sending her threatening letters, Derbyshire said. He was given a restraining order not to come near the student or the SJSU campus.
