Ex-Footballer Warnock Busts Stalker

0:00On April 20th, former Premier League defender Stephen Warnock turned real-life detective to help bust a stalker terrorizing two women at Liverpool. The 44-year-old ex-Liverpool and England star, now a TV pundit, spotted Andrew Mulherne lurking outside their home on ring camera footage. Mulherne, 30 years old from Mosley Hill, got nabbed after weeks of peeping through windows last summer. Warnock and his Beyoncé, sister to one of the victims, parked nearby during Mulherne's usual times and waited him out. When he showed up around 11 p.m. one night, he spotted a new camera and bolted. They followed his trail through South Liverpool for about 40 minutes until cops rode up on a 9-9-9 call. The women were petrified, scared to even step outside or relax at home. Warnock stepped in because he has two daughters himself and couldn't stay in creeps wielding that kind of power. He figured police were stretched then on resources, so he gathered evidence to strengthen their case. During the chase, Warnock ditched his cap and hoodie to blend in, teaming up briefly with another family member on foot.

1:05Mulherne kept looping back, acting suspicious, but unmarked police grabbed him right before things escalated. In court, he copped to two harassment charges. Mulherne drew a 12-week jail term, suspended for 12 months, plus 200 hours unpaid work, 25 rehab days, and a five-year restraining order. Warnock's story shines a light on how deep harassment cuts, pushing more folks to speak up and protect their own.
