An Apple Airtag attached to a keychain. While their intended function is to help the user keep track of their things, Airtags can be used in far more criminal ways.

Yesterday, a man in Leavenworth KS was found guilty of stalking via using an Apple Airtag. They were charged with one misdemeanor count of stalking. The victim, the mans ex, got a notification while driving home that an Airtag was nearby. They alerted the police when they got home, and they found said Airtag on the victims car.

With new technological advancements, it becomes easier and easier to acquire someones location. Airtag stalking has also become increasingly common. It is important for all people, even in towns like Spring Hill, to be vigilant of crimes like these. No matter what, a town is never too small for something like stalking to occur.
