With an active police presence on Jessica Place in Callahan this evening, the Record has learned a resident of the road was arrested Feb. 9 for the felony charge of illegal use of a tracking device on his estranged wife. He was also charged with a misdemeanor for cyberstalking.
The Record cannot confirm if the couple involved in that situation matches the individuals involved in the ongoing incident. However, the Record can confirm tonight’s incident is near the cul de sac of Jessica Place, which is where the estranged couple owns a residence.
Due to the ongoing police presence, the Record is not identifying the individuals from the Feb. 9 arrest in this article.
According to the recent arrest report of the 57-year-old, the wife filed for divorce Aug. 22. Since then, she told deputies, she’s had “an increasing number of issues with her husband during the proceedings.” She reported that the husband texts her repeatedly despite her lack of response and has followed her to residences where she has stayed while attempting to avoid contact with her estranged husband.
She also told deputies that she found a tracking device inside her vehicle. The deputies took the device into evidence, per the arrest report.
The husband also sent videos telling her she has “a small window of time to return to the house before he burns her personal items.” He then sends a video showing “a flaming pile of items.”
Deputies met with the husband Monday at the marital residence, where he spoke with deputies and denied burning her items and said he “only sent the videos to invoke a response from” his estranged wife. He allegedly admitted to installing the tracking device as well.
The man was arrested, then released on a $10,004 bond with an order stating he could not have contact with his estranged wife. His first appearance paperwork states he must wear a court-ordered GPS monitor.
