A man accused of stalking singer-songwriter Jewel at her rural Texas ranch said he was on a mission from God, authorities said Tuesday. 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.

Kozelka was found on the ranch Sept. 14, and the landowner warned him not to return. But on Sept. 15 Kozelka was found at the main house with a pocket knife in his clothing and a dog with him, although he did not resist arrest after deputies were called.

"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 if either 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, on $30,000 bond since his arrest.

His attorney, Michael Nicholls Pugh, declined to comment Tuesday, saying he was appointed to the case that afternoon and had not yet talked to Kozelka.
