An Oregon man, Robert Cole Parmalee, 40, has been arrested and charged with stalking and harassing University of Connecticut women’s basketball player Paige Bueckers. The arrest came after police discovered several concerning social media posts made by Parmalee, in which he fantasized about having a relationship with Bueckers.
According to an arrest affidavit from the UConn Police Department, Parmalee faces charges of breaching the peace, electronic stalking, and harassment. The incident first came to light in the summer of 2024 when members of UConn’s communications department received emails from Parmalee containing rambling comments about Bueckers.
