A council president for a Fayette County municipality is facing charges after police said he was stalking an assistant police chief and interfering with an investigation.
Jason William Frazier, 43, of Everson, has been charged with stalking, obstruction, and harassment, according to WTAE.
Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele told the news station that Frazier placed an Apple AirTag on the chief’s vehicle.
An AirTag is a small Bluetooth-enabled electronic device that allows the owner to help keep track of personal items like keys, a wallet or luggage. However, it has been used as a way to stalk people.
Officials said the assistant police chief found the AirTag hidden in their cruiser. A subsequent investigation found that Frazier owned that device.
Aubele told WTAE that Frazier had tried to prevent Apple from providing information to police about the AirTag.
The borough council was scheduled to meet on Tuesday but the meeting was canceled.
In addition to serving as council president, Frazier is also the community’s emergency management coordinator.
Police have not released more details about the investigation at this time.
