A Lafayette County District Court judge on Thursday sentenced a man on probation for stalking the mayor of Oxford to two years in prison for violating his probation.

According to court records, Matthew Reardon pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking and was sentenced to five years in prison in September 2022. However, four years of that was suspended, and he served about a year in prison for aggravated stalking.

He was sentenced to serve the remaining four years on probation and was also banned from Lafayette County for five years.

Reardon is said to have recently violated his probation when he was arrested for driving under the influence in Galveston, Texas.

On Thursday, the suspended portion of his sentence was ordered revoked. He was sentenced to two years in prison, followed by the remaining two years of supervised release after his release from prison.

Reardon was arrested on June 28, 2022, by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations and charged with aggravated stalking after he entered City Hall with a video camera and walked toward Mayor Robyn Tannehill’s office, knowing he had a restraining order prohibiting him from coming closer than 500 feet to the mayor and her husband, Rhea Tannehill.
