Failed Rowan County Candidate Josh Harrington Appeals Stalking Conviction To Superior Court Same Day
Josh Harrington, the loudmouth and failed Rowan County commissioner candidate, was convicted Friday of stalking after a Mooresville cop accused him of trying to destroy her life. But Harrington has now appealed the case to superior court.

On Friday, Iredell District Court Judge Carole A. Hicks sentenced the 34-year-old Salisbury man on the misdemeanor stalking charge.
Police warrants show Harrington engaged in a campaign that included calling the officer’s employer with a false complaint, blasting her on Facebook, tracking down her co-workers for personal information, and repeatedly posting that she was cheating with someone from another agency — all allegedly done to damage her, her family, and her career.
Harrington had screamed that the whole case was an “attack on journalism.” The judge didn’t buy it.
He was sentenced to a suspended sentence of 60 days in jail and placed on 24 months of supervised probation.

He received an intermediate punishment. As part of Harrington’s sentence, he was initially taken into custody to serve 15 days in the Iredell County Jail.
He was also ordered to pay $1,033 in fines and fees and is barred from assaulting, threatening, or harassing the officer.
But he’s fighting back. Harrington filed a notice of appeal later in the day Friday, which releases him from jail and sends his case to Superior Court to be heard by a jury.
His bond remains the same, with new conditions ordered by the court.
Harrington is to have no contact with the prosecuting witness or her family and have no access to social media of any kind — or through a third party.
