The envelope did not just contain pages asking for a second chance. According to investigators, it also held a live 9mm round, tucked in beside handwritten apologies.
What Police Say Happened
According to a probable cause affidavit described by Law&Crime, 23-year-old Jakir Hasan of Florida is accused of stalking his former girlfriend over several months. Deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office responded to her home in Parkland at about 2 p.m. in late January after she asked to report what she described as persistent harassment and stalking.
The woman told deputies she had dated Hasan for about two years. She said they broke up roughly eight or nine months earlier, that they never lived together, and that they did not have children together. She alleged that, in the roughly six months before she called law enforcement, Hasan contacted her repeatedly through text messages, handwritten letters, and social media accounts.
Records cited by Law&Crime state that Hasan is charged with one count of aggravated stalking and one count of installing and using a tracking device without consent. At the time of the report, he was held in the Broward County Jail on a 10,000 dollar bond.
The Bullet in the Driveway
The affidavit says the harassment began with Hasan reaching out about getting back together and professing that he still loved her. The woman told deputies his behavior escalated.
On a January night, around 2 a.m., she said she found a handwritten letter on her driveway. She told investigators she was certain it came from Hasan based on the content and the way it was written.
Inside the envelope, according to the affidavit, were multiple letters and a single live 9mm cartridge. The document states that the letter described how he had, in his words, ruined the relationship and asked to reconcile because he loved her very much.
The woman reported that as she tried to cut off contact, blocking his phone number and social media profiles, new numbers and accounts appeared. Each time she blocked one, she told deputies, he allegedly contacted her using another.
In one message, according to the affidavit, she said Hasan threatened to shoot her new boyfriend. Investigators did not publicly release screenshots of that communication in the material described by Law&Crime, and Hasan has not entered a plea on the charges at the time of this writing.
An AirTag on the Car
The situation allegedly escalated again in late January when the woman said she discovered an Apple AirTag on her vehicle. AirTags are small Bluetooth-enabled devices used to locate items, but they have also become a focus of multiple U.S. criminal cases involving alleged stalking and unauthorized tracking.
The affidavit says Apple alerted the woman through her phone that an unknown AirTag was moving with her. Using Apple’s safety features, she set the device to emit a sound. That noise led her to the tracker’s location on her car, according to the account in Law&Crime.
The woman also told deputies that Hasan owned a black handgun and that he had recently made suicidal comments in one of his letters. Those claims appear in the affidavit as statements attributed to the alleged victim. They had not been tested in court when the article was published.
Alleged Admissions and Arrest
Investigators interviewed Hasan about the complaint. According to the probable cause affidavit, Hasan allegedly admitted writing letters to the woman, sending her the 9mm bullet, and placing the AirTag on her car.
Law&Crime reports that after that interview, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hasan. Jail records cited by the outlet indicate he was booked into the Broward County Jail and held on a 10,000 dollar bond.
At the time of the Law&Crime report, it was not immediately clear when Hasan would next appear in court. There was no public information in that article about whether he had retained an attorney or how he might respond to the allegations in formal proceedings.
All the conduct described in the affidavit remains alleged. Hasan is presumed innocent unless and until prosecutors prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt in court or he enters a guilty plea.
What Florida Law Says About Stalking and Tracking
The charge of aggravated stalking in Florida is governed by section 784.048 of the Florida Statutes. Under that law, aggravated stalking can apply when a person who is already subject to an injunction or court order, or who makes a credible threat, repeatedly follows, harasses, or cyberstalks another person. The offense is a third-degree felony, which can carry up to five years in prison and a fine of up to 5,000 dollars if there is a conviction, according to the statute text hosted by the Florida Senate.
Florida also has a separate law that covers tracking devices. Section 934.425 of the Florida Statutes makes it a crime to install a tracking device or tracking application on another person’s property without their consent, subject to specific exceptions such as lawful law enforcement use or parental tracking of minors. That statute is available via the state legislative site.
According to the affidavit as summarized by Law&Crime, Hasan faces both an aggravated stalking charge and a charge related to installing and using a tracking device without consent. The specific charging language and any later amendments would appear in Broward County court records, which were not reproduced in full in the article.
In recent years, prosecutors and advocates around the United States have raised concerns about the use of consumer technology in alleged stalking. Apple has updated AirTag software and safety notifications, while law enforcement agencies have issued guidance advising people to take device alerts seriously and to contact authorities if they believe they are being tracked without consent. Those broader concerns form part of the context for how a case like this is understood, even though each prosecution turns on the specific facts and evidence.
What Remains Unclear
The affidavit, as described in Law&Crime, presents the alleged victim’s account and the investigators’ description of their interview with Hasan. It does not include any defense perspective or alternative explanation from Hasan or his counsel.
Public reporting so far does not indicate whether a judge has imposed a no-contact order, whether any prior police reports exist between the two, or whether mental health evaluations have been ordered in light of the alleged suicidal comments referenced in the affidavit.
Key questions are likely to be addressed in court. Among them are how prosecutors will characterize the meaning of the bullet in the envelope, how the alleged threat about the woman’s new boyfriend will be presented, and how the defense will respond to statements described as admissions in the affidavit.
Until those hearings occur and additional documents become public, the case sits at an early stage. The arrest affidavit, the charges under Florida stalking and tracking laws, and the alleged use of a live round and an AirTag are on the record. How a judge and possibly a jury interpret those facts remains unresolved.
