A man from Florida is facing charges after allegedly trying to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend through a barrage of messages, handwritten notes—including one that ominously contained a live 9mm bullet—and by secretly placing a GPS tracker on her vehicle.
Jakir Hasan, 23, was arrested on Wednesday and now faces charges of aggravated stalking and unlawfully installing a tracking device, as detailed in court records.
According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office responded around 2 p.m. on January 28 to a residence on the 5300 block of Godfrey Road in Parkland. They spoke with a woman who wished to report her ex-boyfriend’s alleged harassment and stalking activities.
The woman claimed that Hasan, her former partner, had been persistently contacting her through text messages, handwritten letters, and social media posts for approximately six months. She noted that they had been in a relationship for about two years but had broken up eight or nine months ago. She further clarified that they had never cohabited nor had any children together.
Initially, Hasan’s attempts were about rekindling their relationship and professing his continued affection. However, the victim reported that his conduct had recently intensified.
On Jan. 11, the victim said she found a handwritten letter on her driveway at about 2 a,.m. that was “definitely from Hasan based on the letters content.”
“The envelope contained two long letter and a short letter with a live 9mm round inside,” the affidavit reads. “The letter detailed how he messed it up with her and asked to get back with her because he loves her very much.”
The victim said that as she was inundated with messages from Hasan, she would block his number and social media accounts, but that would only lead to him using different numbers and accounts to contact her, according to deputies.
In one such message, she claimed that Hasan had “threatened to shoot her new boyfriend,” according to the affidavit.
On Jan. 27, the victim said she found an Apple Airtag on her car, which would show the user realtime location information.
“She had been alerted by Apple that the tracker was there,” the affidavit said. “Through her phone, she set the tracker to make a noise, which revealed the exact location of the tracker.”
The victim said Hasan had a black handgun and had recently “made some suicidal comments” in one of his letters.
In an interview with investigators, Hasan allegedly admitted to writing the letters to the victim, sending her the 9mm bullet, and placing the tracker on her car.
The defendant was then arrested and booked into the Broward County Jail and held on $10,000 bond, jail records show.
It was not immediately clear when Hasan was scheduled to return to court.
