Cristian Cabrera Gonzalez, 25, is suspected of tracking a man in Mohave County by attaching a GPS device to the victim's car.

MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. — Editor's Note: The police previously said the tracker was an AirTag device. But the victim only described the device as being similar to an AirTag. 

Investigators in Mohave County have arrested a man suspected of stalking someone by tracking their movements with a GPS tracking device.

Cristian Cabrera Gonzalez, 25, was arrested this week after he allegedly confessed to attaching a tracker on a man's car so he could follow the man's movements. 

According to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office, the victim reported finding a gadget on his car and told investigators of a restraining order he had against Gonzalez. 

Deputies took the tracker and drove to a park in Bullhead City. MCSO said deputies spotted Gonzalez arriving at the same park about five minutes later.

Gonzalez was interviewed and allegedly admitted to using the GPS device to drive by the victim's house and take photos.

Gonzalez was booked into jail on charges of harassment, stalking, and failing to comply with a court order.
