Names and faces

— A man accused of stalking singer-songwriter Jewel at her rural Texas ranch said he was on a mission from God, authorities said Tu e s d ay. Michael Lawrance Kozelka of Wisconsin was arrested last week after he went two consecutive days to the 2,000-acre Stephenville ranch owned by Jewel's husband, rodeo champion Ty Murray, said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant. After Kozelka was found on the ranch Sept. 14, the landowner warned him not to return, Bryant said. But on Sept. 15, Kozelka was found at the main house with a pocketknife in his clothing and a dog with him, although he did not resist arrest after deputies were called, Bryant said. "He was not aggressive and was not mad," Bryant told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "He just said he was on a mission from God, that God told him to come to Stephenville and led him to this ranch." Bryant declined to say what Kozelka may have said about Jewel or her husband, and it's unclear ifeither was home at the time. Kozelka was charged with stalking, a felony that carries a maximum 10-year jail sentence, according to jail records. He has been jailed in Stephenville, about 75 miles southwest of Fort Worth, in lieu of $30,000 bond since his arrest.
