A Tennessee police officer was charged with multiple crimes after he allegedly assaulted his estranged girlfriend, destroyed her belongings, and threatened to kill her while on duty.

According to court documents, on August 20, the officer began his shift early. He reportedly went to his girlfriend’s apartment and used a gate code not meant for public access to repeatedly enter the complex. The woman told investigators that when she returned home around 6:30 a.m., she found him waiting outside her door. The two had been in a strained romantic relationship, and she had recently asked him to return her apartment key. They began arguing, and he accused her of being unfaithful and reportedly demanded to look through her phone.

They ended up in the woman’s bedroom, and the situation escalated. The officer allegedly grabbed a screwdriver and stabbed her television several times, and she told him to leave. Instead, he reportedly wrestled with her while trying to take her cellphone. She said she was crying and begging him not to destroy it, and after reportedly doing so, he allegedly threw her onto the bed as she tried to get away.

A longtime fire department battalion chief in Florida was arrested on 29 felony counts after a lengthy investigation allegedly implicated him in financial fraud, unlawful surveillance, and stalking.

In September 2024, it was reported that suspicions were raised about the financial management of a regional urban search and rescue task force. Upon an initial investigation, the authorities believed that discrepancies had occurred because the battalion chief, who had overseen the program for about seven years, allegedly used task force credit cards for personal shopping. Investigators claim that between 2019 and 2024, more than $47,000 was spent on non-job-related items from online retailers and storage companies. When they looked further into the situation, the authorities alleged the man attempted to manipulate financial records to conceal the purchases.

As the inquiry continued, investigators also uncovered evidence that the chief had purchased hidden cameras and GPS tracking devices with the same accounts tied to the fraudulent spending. Authorities believe the devices were concealed in private areas to record individuals without their knowledge. The GPS tracker was reportedly used to monitor specific people, leading to aggravated stalking charges.

A Florida man may face legal consequences after being accused of intentionally timing his sprinkler system so the special needs students boarding and deboarding the school bus near his home would be soaked with water.

According to reports, for the past year, a family with two disabled children, one of whom is in a wheelchair, has had difficulties with their next-door neighbor when they board their school bus. The bus parks in front of their Ocala home, and when the wheelchair ramp is lowered, it reportedly blocks part of the neighbor’s driveway. The 61-year-old man reported being frustrated by the situation. At the beginning of August 2024, it was believed that he used his lawn sprinkler system to retaliate against the annoyance.

Each time the father of the students came out of the house with his kids, they were soaked by the sprinklers, which were allegedly intentionally aimed at the area between the home and the door of the bus. Neighbors reported that they often saw the sprinklers come on when the dad would bring his wheelchair-bound 17-year-old daughter, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, to the bus. The alleged water assault continued as the man escorted his 22-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. When they returned from school, the sprinklers reportedly came on again, causing them to get wet a second time.

An Orange City police officer was arrested for allegedly using his work computer and law enforcement database to track his former girlfriend.

The investigation started when a stalking complaint was filed by his former girlfriend, who reported his controlling behavior was ongoing during their ten-month relationship, which ended in October 2024. She claimed he attempted to isolate her from her family, dictated aspects of her appearance, and insisted on knowing where she was at all times. Additionally, she alleged that he put an Apple AirTag in her wallet without her knowledge. During a video chat with the man, he reportedly showed her a live image of her vehicle passing through an intersection.

After their breakup, the man allegedly spread false rumors about the alleged victim being suicidal and continued tracking her through license plate readers. The woman contacted the police and asked them to check the activity on the officer’s computer, which allegedly revealed that he ran her vehicle’s license plate, along with those of her mother and brother, 108 times between April and November 2024.

A 30-year-old Army soldier is facing charges after he reportedly went AWOL and allegedly stalked a woman he saw on TikTok because he believed they were soul mates.

Several months ago, a man stationed in North Carolina before he was discharged from the military was perusing TikTok when he came across the content of a woman with 1.5 million followers. He allegedly developed fantasies about having a relationship with her and reportedly believed mystical forces intervened and led him to the woman he was meant to be with.

In January, the woman believed the man might be stalking her after she posted pictures of herself on Laguna Beach when she was in California, and he allegedly figured out where she was and photographed himself in the same spot. The woman blocked the TikTok account he was using at the time, in addition to more than 20 accounts she believed he was operating.

A North Carolina man was arrested on several charges after the police finally caught him for allegedly having sexual relations with a woman’s vehicle for the past three years.

Mechanophilia, also known as mechaphilia, is defined as having a sexual attraction to machinery, such as vehicles, bicycles, aircraft, and other mechanical objects. While it is an uncommon fetish, over the last three years, an 82-year-old woman’s vehicle has been the object of attraction for a man who reportedly practices mechanophilia.

According to reports, the man, who had no familiarity with the car’s owner, had been visiting her property and performing lewd acts on the automobile. The man allegedly sexually relieved himself on the vehicle many times over the years, in addition to urinating on it. When the woman spotted the wet remnants the first few times, she believed it was due to a mechanical malfunction and brought the car to the shop.
