Man who stalked legislator sentenced to 17 months in prison

A Bremerton man convicted of stalking 26th District Rep. Michelle Caldier has been sentenced to 17 months in prison.

On March 1, Isaiah Long, 34, pleaded guilty Kitsap County Superior Court to two counts of stalking Caldier, R-Gig Harbor. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Albert Didcock recommended a sentence of 17 months in state prison, the top of the sentencing range. Judge Tina Robinson agreed on Friday, March 24, according to the Kitsap Sun.

Long repeatedly called and sent Caldier messages for two years and continued contacting her after he was warned and ordered to stop, according to court documents. He then went to Caldier’s father’s Bremerton home.

As part of a plea agreement, Long agreed to submit to substance use disorder and mental health evaluations and to comply with recommended treatments. He was again ordered to not have contact with Caldier.
