Cocoa Beach resident Walter Hite Jr. has been arrested following accusations that he persistently tracked his ex-girlfriend for months, employing GPS tracking devices and allegedly sending her threatening messages.
The incident unfolded on November 2, 2024, at around 12:09 p.m., when a Cocoa Beach Police Officer was approached by a woman who claimed her ex-boyfriend had been following her. The woman, who has not been named, reported that Hite had been shadowing her movements for an extended period. The situation reportedly escalated that evening when Hite showed up at the same restaurant where she was dining with her new partner.
According to police reports, Hite allegedly confronted the woman and her date, causing a public scene that prompted the couple to leave. Shortly afterward, the woman began receiving unsettling text messages, which she believed were from Hite, further fueling her concerns for her safety.
