Stalker escapes from facility
Stuart Lynn Dunn disappeared around 7:30 p.m. Saturday from the Olive Vista Behavioral Health Center in Pomona, said Deputy Chief Reaver Bingham of the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
Dunn climbed out a small window of a bathroom and then scaled a barbed-wire fence.
“He went in to take a shower, and when he didn’t come out they went in to check on him,’’ Bingham said.
Law enforcement authorities were actively searching for him, but he had no known local contacts and there were no leads, Bingham said.
“We’re treating him as dangerous,’’ he said. “We never know the state of mind of an individual. He does have a fixation on the original victim, so that’s why.’’
Kunis was personally notified of the escape, he said.
Asked if she was being given protection, Bingham said there is a law enforcement protocol for such situations but he was not at liberty to discuss it. He did not know what private measures she may have taken.
Dunn pleaded no contest to stalking the “Black Swan’’ and “That ’70s Show’’ actress in January 2013.
He was arrested in February 2012 for breaking into her vacant condominium. Authorities took him into custody again a few months later, after he waited for Kunis outside her gym for three days, in violation of a restraining order.
Dunn was sentenced to six months of rehabilitation and five years of probation and ordered to stay away from the actress and her representatives for 10 years.
Messages seeking comment from representatives for Kunis were not immediately returned Monday. AP
