In addition to stalking, jail records show Sgt. Bryan Stubbs, 36, is also accused of installing tracking devices without consent, according to Orange County jail records. He’s expected to remain in jail until he makes his first appearance before a judge Wednesday.
The Apopka Police Department, which Winter Garden officials said made the arrest, has not released details of the case against Stubbs, and an affidavit has not yet been filed in court as of early Tuesday afternoon. A records request filed with Apopka police is pending.
Stubbs has been placed on paid administrative leave while the criminal case proceeds, as Winter Garden policy requires, his department said.
