KENNETT SQUARE, PA — The Kennett Square Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for a local man following allegations of stalking, terroristic threats, and harassment. The warrant was issued on December 5, 2023, by District Court 15-3-04.
Juan Cesar Castro-Fernandez, a 36-year-old male, is alleged to have continually harassed a local resident over several weeks. According to the police department, the victim reported multiple instances of harassment from Castro-Fernandez, who is also accused of creating a fake social media account in the victim’s name.

Further complaints were made by the victim on October 28, November 4, and November 17, 2023, stating that they had been continually contacted by Castro-Fernandez.
As a result of these allegations, charges of stalking, terroristic threats, and harassment have been filed against Castro-Fernandez at District Court 15-3-04. The case is pending a preliminary hearing.
