SALINAS, California -- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on Friday, March 19, 2021 that the Honorable Pamela L. Butler sentenced 24-year-old Efrain Eulogio Donato of Greenfield to 4 years in state prison. Donato previously entered a no contest plea to a felony charge of stalking and a misdemeanor charge of violating a criminal protective order. He also admitted one prior “strike” offense under California’s “Three Strikes Law.” Donato and a woman were in a dating relationship from July 2019 until February 2020. After the woman ended the relationship, Donato began to continuously harass her. He sent her over 40 messages on Facebook and called her over 200 times. In October of 2020, despite the woman blocking his phone number, Donato began leaving the woman various life threatening voicemails. On November 1, 2020, Donato went to the woman's house and rang the doorbell. The woman did not answer. Donato jumped the fence into the woman's backyard and started banging on her bedroom window. The woman hid inside her house and called 911. At the time of the incident, Donato was on a misdemeanor grant of probation for trespassing at the woman's residence in February of 2020. While he was in custody at the Monterey County Jail for the trespassing incident, he called the woman in violation of an Emergency Protective Order. Detective Mitchell Eggers and Sergeant Christina Gunter of the Greenfield Police Department and District Attorney Investigator Pablo Andrade of the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office investigated the case.
