Man accused of using GPS to track wife

A Madison man allegedly stalked his wife, a Madison police officer, by placing GPS devices in her vehicles, using sophisticated computer software to track her movements through her cell phone and hacking his way into the Madison Police Department’s human resources computer program to learn her work schedule.

Dustin M. Farberg, 38, a former corrections officer who now works as a human resources assistant for UW’s School of Medicine and Public Health, faces charges on felony counts of stalking, identity theft and vehicle theft and a misdemeanor computer crime for the alleged three-month-long stalking of both his wife and another police officer with whom she was having an affair.
