Scottsdale, Arizona – A 44-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges, including stalking and endangerment, following a months-long investigation into alleged harassment of his ex-wife and damage to a luxury condominium complex. Jaime Rodriguez was initially arrested on February 14, 2026, and subsequently arrested again on stalking charges on Tuesday, according to Scottsdale Police Department reports.
The case centers around allegations that Rodriguez engaged in a pattern of behavior intended to intimidate and track his former partner, culminating in property damage estimated at approximately $97,000. The alleged stalking involved not only physical damage but also attempts to monitor the ex-wife’s financial activity, and movements. This case highlights the growing concern over stalking and the use of technology to facilitate harassment, a trend increasingly addressed by law enforcement agencies.
Extensive Property Damage Linked to Stalking
Between May 15, 2025, and January 11, 2026, police responded to 21 incidents involving broken windows at a high-rise condominium complex near 75th Street and Stetson Drive, KTAR News reported. Investigators believe Rodriguez used a slingshot to launch rocks at the building, specifically targeting the unit occupied by his ex-wife’s boyfriend. While only five of the damaged windows have been replaced as of March 6, 2026, the total cost of repairs is estimated at nearly $100,000, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.
Beyond Property Damage: Tracking and Harassment
The alleged harassment extended beyond the physical damage to the condominium complex. Police reports indicate that Rodriguez made over 1,700 calls to Bank of America, potentially in an attempt to track his ex-wife’s spending and location, AZFamily.com reported. The victim’s father discovered an Apple AirTag hidden under the hood of her car, suggesting an attempt to monitor her movements. Detectives responded by placing a GPS tracker on Rodriguez’s vehicle and initiating surveillance in January 2026.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Jaime Rodriguez is currently facing four counts of stalking and four counts of endangerment, according to the Scottsdale Police Department. He was initially booked into the Maricopa County jail on February 14, 2026, on charges of criminal damage and endangerment, and was subsequently re-arrested on the stalking charges on Tuesday, March 5, 2026. A booking photo was not immediately available as of March 6, 2026, the Scottsdale Progress reported. The Maricopa County Superior Court is handling the case, and the next procedural step will likely involve an arraignment where Rodriguez will enter a plea.
The alleged actions have left neighbors in surrounding units fearful, according to condo management. The case underscores the severity of stalking and the potential for escalating violence in domestic disputes.
As of March 10, 2026, the investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not released further details regarding potential motives or additional suspects. The focus now shifts to the legal proceedings and the pursuit of justice for the alleged victim and the affected residents of the condominium complex.
What comes next is a court process that will determine the extent of Rodriguez’s culpability and the appropriate legal consequences. The case will likely draw attention to the challenges of prosecuting stalking cases and the importance of providing support to victims of domestic violence.
