Florida Man Accused of Sending Ex a Live Bullet in Letter While Begging Her to Take Him Back, Police Say
PARKLAND, FLORIDA — A Florida man is behind bars after police say his attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend spiraled into a months-long campaign of stalking that included sending her a live 9mm round in the mail and secretly tracking her movements with a GPS device.
Jakir Hasan, 23, was arrested this week and charged with aggravated stalking and installing and using a tracking device without consent, according to records from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Months of Harassment After Breakup
According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies responded around 2 p.m. on Jan. 28 to a home in the 5300 block of Godrey Road in Parkland after a woman reported ongoing harassment from her ex-boyfriend.
The victim told investigators she and Hasan dated for about two years before breaking up roughly eight or nine months ago. She emphasized that the two never lived together and do not share children.
After the breakup, Hasan allegedly began bombarding her with text messages, handwritten letters, and social media contact, all centered around pleas to reconcile. When the woman blocked his phone number and online accounts, Hasan allegedly created new numbers and profiles to continue contacting her.
Letter Containing Live Ammunition Raises Alarm
The situation escalated dramatically on Jan. 11, when the woman discovered a handwritten letter left in her driveway around 2 a.m. She told deputies she immediately recognized the writing as Hasan’s.
Inside the envelope, police say, were multiple letters and a live 9mm bullet.
“The letter detailed how he messed it up with her and asked to get back with her because he loves her very much,” the affidavit states.
Investigators also allege that in one message, Hasan threatened to shoot the woman’s new boyfriend, further intensifying concerns for her safety.
GPS Tracker Found on Victim’s Car
On Jan. 27, the woman made another disturbing discovery — an Apple AirTag hidden on her car.
According to police, she was alerted by her iPhone that an unknown tracker was traveling with her. After activating the AirTag’s sound feature, she was able to locate it attached to her vehicle.
The affidavit notes that the tracker allowed real-time location monitoring, raising fears that Hasan had been following her movements.
The victim also told deputies that Hasan owns a black handgun and had recently made suicidal comments in one of his letters.
Suspect Allegedly Confesses
During an interview with investigators, Hasan allegedly admitted to writing the letters, sending the live ammunition, and placing the tracking device on the victim’s car.
He was taken into custody and booked into the Broward County Jail, where he is being held on a $10,000 bond. Court records did not immediately indicate his next court date.
A Case That Highlights Stalking Dangers
Law enforcement officials say the case underscores how stalking behaviors can escalate rapidly — moving from unwanted communication to actions that pose a serious threat to personal safety.
Authorities continue to urge anyone experiencing similar behavior to report it immediately and seek protective measures.
