Former CHP officer charged with stalking


A California Highway Patrol officer has been charged with stalking the girlfriend of a former boyfriend and other felonies, according to a complaint filed in Napa County Superior Court.

Emily Marie Seronello, 31, of Napa, is also charged with dissuading a witness from going to authorities, illegal possession of ammunition, impersonating someone else on the Internet, disobeying a court restraining order and other charges, according to the complaint filed Monday in Superior Court.

Seronello appeared in court Tuesday, but did not enter a plea. Napa County Superior Court Judge Mark Boessenecker scheduled the next hearing for Aug. 24, according to court documents.

In the meantime, Seronello remains free on $50,000 bail, according to court records.

Seronello, who was a CHP officer assigned to the Napa unit on Golden Gate Drive, had been ordered in January to stay away from her former boyfriend, a Napa resident, according to court records. Commissioner Michael Williams also ordered Seronello to possess a firearm only in connection with her official duties, according to court records.

But an investigation found that Seronello allegedly sent hundreds of harassing text messages while concealing her identity to her former boyfriend and possessed two firearms and ammunition in violation of the restraining order, according to court records.

Seronello is no longer a CHP officer, CHP representatives said Wednesday.

“As of May 2012 she’s no longer employed by the department,” CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader said.

“We take allegations of misconduct by any of our employees very seriously,” said Clader, who noted that the CHP had conducted the criminal investigation.

Seronello entered the CHP Academy in May 2005 and graduated in November 2005, Clader said.

In October, the courts ordered Seronello to stay away from her boyfriend after the Napa County district attorney’s office filed misdemeanor charges against her for allegedly entering her boyfriend’s house after she moved out, according to court documents.

In April, the district attorney’s office filed a motion to terminate a misdemeanor diversion program after she allegedly contacted the former boyfriend, a violation of the court order.
