A woman with a history of stalking Post Malone has been arrested for a fifth time, violating the protective order he has against her.

Cherish Gomer, 31, was arrested on August 4 on suspicion of stalking with a prior conviction, a third-degree felony, and violation of a permanent criminal stalking injunction, a third-degree felony.

Gomer allegedly jumped in front of Post Malone’s car while he was trying to leave his home. She was arrested on the same charges several days prior, on July 27. Reportedly, that was the second time she had been on Post Malone’s property that week.

She has previously been convicted of stalking Post Malone, and Post Malone was granted a permanent protective order against her. She was arrested on charges of criminal trespass three times prior to July 27.

According to Malone's father, Rich Post, the woman had shown up at his son's home at least a dozen times. Once, she even arrived barefoot after walking all the way from Salt Lake City, he said.

Further, law enforcement wrote in a police booking affidavit that Gomer "continues to stalk her victim and is always released from jail. She does not care about the consequences of her offenses, and will continue to cause significant emotional distress to her victim."

"She truly believes she has a calling from some sort of spirit animal, and she thinks she has a relationship with Mr. Post, and so she's 'entitled' to do this, which is incredibly alarming, and these people can be incredibly dangerous as we've seen throughout history," said Robby Russo, Cottonwood Heights police chief. x x
