SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man for allegedly stalking a woman.
On May 26, a female victim reported that a suspect identified as 57-year-old Ed Harrington – a person known to her –had placed a GPS tracking device on her vehicle, according to Wichita Police Officer Trevor Macy.
She had taken it to a local automotive shop, where they were able to locate and remove it.
On July 6th, Harrington was brought to city hall and interviewed regarding this case and a prior burglary in which the victim's car was broken into, and numerous items were stolen. After interviews, Harrington was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on requested charges of Stalking, Burglary to Auto, Theft, and Violation of a protection order.
This arrest was made due to extensive follow-up work performed by the Wichita Police Department (WPD) Domestic Violence Intervention and Reduction Team (DVIRT) and partnerships with community domestic violence advocates.
