A Canandaigua man is facing a stalking charge following an investigation by the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies say they took a harassment complaint at their Ontario Street office on July 10. As a result of the investigation, Christopher Vanderwall Jr. was arrested on Monday and charged with fourth-degree stalking.

Vanderwall was taken to the Ontario County Jail, where he was held pending arraignment in CAP Court.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
