The Woonsocket man, a medical researcher at Brown University, is accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend by attaching a GPS device to her car.
MANSFIELD, MA — A Rhode Island man has been accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend, a teacher at Qualters Middle School, by secretly attaching a GPS device to her car, according to police. Tu C. Le, 43, of Woonsocket, was charged with stalking, four counts of breaking and entering, and trespassing. He pleaded not guilty Monday in Attleboro District Court.
Police told the Sun Chronicle that Le, a medical researcher at Brown University, dated the teacher for about a year before she ended the relationship. According to the teacher, Le was too controlling and would show up uninvited when she was out with friends or on dates with other men, the police report said. Police said the teacher became suspicious and found a GPS tracker on her car.
Le was arrested around 8:40 p.m., Saturday after police said they saw him following the woman and putting a GPS tracker on her car at the Red Roof Inn in Mansfield. Police said Le had two other GPS trackers with him. According to police, Le also tried following the woman by breaking into Qualters Middle School and Mansfield High School after school hours.
