A Florida man’s desperate attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend ended in a jail cell last week after his behavior allegedly spiraled from annoying texts into a dangerous campaign of stalking.
Jakir Hasan, 23, of Parkland, was arrested on Wednesday by Broward County deputies following a six-month ordeal that left his former partner fearing for her safety.
The pair had dated for two years but split up nearly nine months ago. Since then, the victim claims Hasan refused to let go, constantly cycling through new phone numbers and social media accounts to bypass her blocks.
The harassment took a dark turn on January 11, when the woman discovered a handwritten letter on her driveway at 2 a.m. Inside the envelope were several pages declaring his love—and a 9mm bullet.

The situation escalated further when the victim’s iPhone alerted her that an Apple AirTag was following her movements.
After activating the tracker’s alarm, she found the device hidden on her car. Along with the tracking and the “gift” of ammunition, Hasan reportedly threatened to shoot the woman’s new boyfriend and made several suicidal comments in his writings.
When confronted by investigators, Hasan didn’t shy away from the allegations. He reportedly admitted to sending the letters, the bullet, and planting the GPS device on her vehicle.
He is currently being held at the Broward County Jail on a $10,000 bond, facing charges of aggravated stalking and the unauthorized use of a tracking device.
