Prior to his arrest, police say Thomas Evans was spotted with a car registered to a woman named Sharon Hayden, who lives in Boiling Springs, S.C.
ABC News 4 tracked down that woman's address and spoke to her neighbors.
Neighbors say they both had run-ins with Evans when he asked to use their phones.
One of Hayden’s neighbors, who asked not to be identified, says during the first week of February, Evans came over asking to use her husband’s phone.
This encounter would have been just a few days after Evans was released from prison, according to S.C. Dept. of Corrections Records.
According to the neighbor, “[Evans] came over and wanted to use our cell phone and stated that he was her husband and had just gotten out of jail and looking to contact his sister in Charleston that maybe he was going to go stay with her because they were arguing.”
Another neighbor Terry Hall said Evans had also made a disparaging comment about Hayden when he asked to use his phone, also to call down to Charleston a week later.
“And then he did make some kind of snarky comment about his girlfriend I just don’t recall what it was but in process of using the phone he bad mouthed her in a sense like he was mad at her,” said Hall.
