Jailed Man Accused of Stalking Victims

LUFKIN — A Zavalla man in jail on a stalking charge received an additional charge after allegedly continuing to harass one of his victims from jail. Eddie Lynn Bryan, 40, was arrested on the original stalking charge in July for allegedly sending threatening and lewd text messages to a local real estate agent after seeing her picture on billboards last summer. The texts escalated from lewd sexual comments to him telling her he was going to “cut her throat and put her in Lake Rayburn.”

According to Angelina County Sheriff’s Office investigators, Bryan reportedly wrote a harassing letter from his jail cell, to the father of an Arlington woman he was convicted of stalking in Tarrant County. Bryan remains in the Angelina County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He has a jury selection date set for February 27 on the stalking charge.
