Stalking is recognized as a criminal offense in the Commonwealth, per
Va Code Sec. 18.2-60.3, and you could file a criminal complaint against such
a person such as you've described under this statute or even seek a preliminary protective order under Va. Code Sec. 19.2-152.9.
There should be no need to fool with a restraining order when you have remedies such as described above.
