GPS stalker gets jail sentence

"A man charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend by attaching a global positioning system to her car was sentenced to 16 months in state prison, prosecutors said," reports AP.

"Authorities contended that Gabrielyan attached a cell phone to the woman's car on Aug. 16 with a motion switch that turned on when the car moved, transmitting a signal each minute to a satellite. Information was then sent to a Web site that allowed Gabrielyan to monitor the woman's location.

"The woman learned how Gabrielyan was following her when she discovered him under her car attempting to change the cell phone's battery, police said."
