Upper Gwynedd Police Have Arrested A Bucks County Man For Stalking His Ex-Wife & Family

UPPER GWYNEDD, PA — A Bucks County man has been arrested by police in this Montgomery County community on charges that he harassed and stalked his ex-wife and her family.

The Upper Gwynedd Township Police Department announced that they arrested 36-year-old Kevin Wilbur of Doylestown and charged him with 18 separate counts relating to the alleged stalking that began after Wilbur and his wife separated in early 2021.

During the separation, police said, Wilbur attempted to forcibly enter a home belonging to his in-laws, which is where his wife was staying at the time.

Wilbur was told he was no longer allowed at the property, although he soon began sending harassing text messages, voicemails and social media posts to his wife and her family, according to Upper Gwynedd Police.

"Wilbur has since repeatedly demanded payment and property from the victims and threatened to disseminate explicit images if his demands were not met," Upper Gwynedd Police said in a statement. "While the investigation was ongoing, Wilbur attempted to persuade the victims to drop the case against him and he has also repeatedly defied warnings from Upper Gwynedd officers to cease all contact with the victims."

State court records show that Wilbur was arrested on Wednesday and arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Elizabeth Casey.

Bail was set at $50,000 unsecured.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 24 before Magisterial District Judge Suzan Leonard.

Court records show that Wilbur is being charged with a host of misdemeanor and summary offenses, including, but not limited to, harassment, theft, extortion and stalking.
