Man Indicted On Murder, Stalking Charges

HOLLY SPRINGS, GA -- A Gainesville man has been indicted in connection to the January shooting death of a Montana man visiting friends in Holly Springs.

A Cherokee County grand jury indicted Robert Derek Gialenios on one count each of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, stalking and loitering and prowling, court records show.

Gialenios was arrested and charged by Holly Springs police detectives with the Jan. 21 fatal shooting of Bryan Overseth, 43. The body of Overseth, a Kalispell, Montana, resident was found around 10:41 p.m. Jan. 21 on a private access drive in the Harmony on the Lakes subdivision, Holly Springs police previously told Patch.

The agency said Overseth was in Cherokee County visiting friends when he was allegedly gunned down by Gialenios.

According to the indictment, Gialenios is accused of fatally shooting Overseth with a .22 caliber firearm. The stalking and loitering charges stem from Gialenios contacting Overseth's wife through social networking site Pinterest.

He's also accused of stalking the victim's wife by placing a card and flower on the patio of the home of her sister and brother-in-law, who reside in Canton.

Gialenios is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges at 9 a.m. May 11 in courtroom 2C at the Cherokee County Justice Center.
