Ex-hospital employee allegedly stalked MD

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A former employee of Regions Hospital is charged with violating a restraining order which kept her away from a radiologist.

A criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County says 35-year-old Saida Hasanova, of Bloomington, showed up at the doctor's home late at night, loitered in a hospital waiting room with unsolicited gifts and gained unauthorized access to the physicians' lounge at Regions, among other things.

Dr. Joseph Tashjian was granted a harassment restraining order in March 2011. The complaint says Hasanova complied with the court order for a while, then started stalking the 60-year-old radiologist again. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says Hasanova is charged with five misdemeanor counts of violating the restraining order.

She's been ordered to appear in court May 29.
