Former Mother-in-Law Targeted in Alleged Harassment Campaign

Authorities in Louisville are investigating a series of alleged harassing incidents attributed to Gregory, targeting her former mother-in-law. The alleged pattern of behavior, which began in early April, reportedly included increasingly concerning actions that prompted the victim to contact law enforcement.

According to reports, the victim claimed to have observed Gregory driving past her home on multiple occasions. In an alleged message from early April, Gregory is accused of sending the victim a video that purportedly showed Gregory surreptitiously filming the victim while she was in line at a local Walgreens.

The alleged harassment reportedly intensified on July 7. Authorities claim Gregory picked up her two children, aged 8 and 11, for a trip to the zoo. though, before heading to the zoo, Gregory allegedly instructed the children to “run an errand.” This errand, according to authorities, involved having the children “stomp” on multiple bell peppers. Gregory was reportedly aware that her former mother-in-law had a severe allergy to bell peppers.

The crushed bell peppers were then allegedly placed into a birthday gift bag by Gregory, who then instructed her children to deliver the bag to their grandmother’s house and leave it on her porch. The children,aware of their grandmother’s severe allergy,reportedly refused to carry out the task.

Later, Gregory allegedly enlisted the assistance of a friend. This friend is accused of placing the bag containing the bell peppers on the victim’s car, accompanied by a handwritten birthday card.The card reportedly read: “You ruined my life. Enjoy your allergic reaction b-.”

Fortunately, the victim’s husband discovered the crushed peppers and discarded the bag before the victim could come into contact with them.

Further allegations suggest that in mid-June, Gregory informed her grandchildren that she would be dropping off “legal paperwork” at their grandmother’s residence. While at the victim’s home during this visit, Gregory allegedly “rubbed a pink substance on the driver’s door handle of the victim’s vehicle.” The victim reportedly wiped the handle with a napkin before later waking up in the hospital, having suffered an allergic reaction.

During her arraignment on Wednesday, gregory entered a plea of not guilty to all charges. She is currently being held at the louisville Metro Detention Center on a $25,000 cash-only bond. Court records indicate that Gregory’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 7.
