From the article: In yet another case of a stalker using Apple’s AirTags — and of the AirTags alerting the victim — police near Memphis have arrested a woman’s ex-husband.
Carlos Atkins is not the first man to be charged with what the Fox News local affiliate station reports is defined as “electronic tracking of a motor vehicle.” Depending on the outcome of police proceedings, he won’t the first stalker to be jailed because of AirTags, either.
This case is more creepy than usual, however, as Atkins is alleged to have tracked down his victim’s car in order to put roses on it. His unnamed ex-wife found the AirTag in her car, and reportedly Atkins has confessed that he placed it there.
He is said to have claimed he wanted to see his and his ex-wife’s children.
It’s unclear how old the children are, however, as the victim reportedly phoned Atkins’s daughter to ask her to stop the harassment. Atkins later somehow contacted the victim through her nephew’s phone, and it was during this call that he is said to have admitted to following her.
