NATCHEZ — An Adams County woman was arrested this week after she allegedly escalated electronic threats and burglarized a Morgantown area residence.

Kiesha Sadé Butler, 22, was arrested on charges of cyberstalking and burglary of a dwelling Monday.

According to a news release from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, a warrant for Butler’s arrest on the cyberstalking charges was issued in late January after she allegedly sent threatening electronic messages to a Morgantown-area resident. The State of Mississippi considers any form of electronic harassment to be cyberstalking.

She pleaded “not guilty” to the charges against her in Adams County Justice Court.
