BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. Another Baldwin County man has been arrested for placing a tracker on a person’s vehicle without their knowledge or permission.

Luke Jones of Summerdale has been arrested for First Degree Stalking after police said that he placed a TK Star GPS tracking device in a victim’s vehicle.

The incident took place from Oct 25 to Nov 6, according to the complaint.

Jones was released on a $60,000 bond.

Under Alabama law, specifically the 2023 legislation (HB153), it is illegal to place an electronic tracking device (like an Apple AirTag or GPS) on another person’s property without consent for purposes of stalking, harassment, or unlawful surveillance. This is a Class C felony, or a Class B felony if it violates a protective order.
