On Dec. 8, deputies arrested James Stanley Gwynn, 64, after a month-long investigation. Deputies say they received multiple complaints from tenants of a Mathews apartment complex in November.


The tenants reported a maintenance worker illegally entering apartments, making sexual advances and groping women over the course of several months.

Gwynn was released on a $3,000 secured bond and is pending a hearing in the Mathews County General District Court.

Anyone with additional information related to these incidents should contact Investigator Hargis with the Mathews County Sheriff’s Office at 804-725-7177.
