A Florida man was arrested after authorities say he stalked a woman he met on a dating app and stole a teddy bear containing the woman’s son’s ashes.

According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched on Aug. 1 to help Flagler Beach Police Department officers with an investigation into a suspect, identified as Justin Fountain, after a woman went to Flagler Beach police and said Fountain had “become increasingly controlling and aggressive.”

“According to the victim, Fountain tracked her location, following her around Flagler County, and stole her child’s ashes from her despite her asking to stop contacting her,” Flagler County deputies said in a news release. “Fountain also texted the victim over 100 times in the hours that followed.”

Going into details about the 31-year-old’s actions that day, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office officials explained that the victim broke contact with him, but he showed up at her place of work “without warning and without invitation” after using a GPS tracking device to find her.

Just another example of why the Catholic church's admonition on proper Christian burial, of one's entire remains, in a consecrated cemetery seems to make sense.

This is the kind of idiot that feeds the feminist view that all men are bad. When it is really a case of bad choosing. I know a couple women that are on the dating apps. I just roll my eyes and think “reap what you sow...”.

He threatened to keep the Teddy Bear (containing the ashes of the Victim’s dead Son) and burn the toy if the Victim continued to ignore his (in excess of 100) text messages to her.

She needs a restraining order against him.

A high caliber order.

Yep. Cremation is not always a godless act of desecrating a human body. But many times it is.
