Minneapolis Sergeant Charged with Stalking and Harassment
News summary

Gordon Blackey, a 59-year-old Minneapolis police sergeant, has been charged with multiple counts including harassment and unauthorized use of a tracking device after allegedly stalking a former romantic partner, who is also a fellow officer. The victim discovered an Apple AirTag hidden in her vehicle after receiving a notification on her daughter's phone, which was linked to Blackey's phone number. Following this, Blackey admitted to placing the tracker 'because he cared' about her and had previously shown up uninvited at social events. Despite initially not pursuing action due to workplace concerns, the victim reported the incidents to police on May 7, citing anxiety and fear for her safety. Investigators found Blackey had accessed sensitive personal information about the victim's family using a law enforcement database without any legitimate purpose. Blackey, who has a long history with the department, previously served as a bodyguard for Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and has faced numerous complaints throughout his career.
