Hannah Freeman (Westlake Police Department).
Cops in Ohio arrested a woman who was allegedly stalking her ex-boyfriend and stole his wallet to make over $1,000 in Amazon charges on his credit card.
Hannah Freeman, a 27-year-old educator at North Ridgeville City Schools near Cleveland, is facing charges of menacing by stalking and aggravated theft, court records show. Body camera and surveillance footage capture Freeman showing up to the school where he worked on Nov. 7 and sitting in her car in the parking lot.
Westlake Police officers responded to the victim’s school. While she claimed her ex-boyfriend had invited to the school, he said otherwise.
“She probably would say that,” the victim told cops in the body camera video, which is redacted to conceal his identity. “She actually, yesterday, followed me to my apartment. She actually stole stuff from my car, medications which I need, my car keys which I actually was able to get back from her, a laptop, my wallet, and she just ran up a bunch of charges on one of my credit cards.”

Officers went to her car and questioned whether she was supposed to be there. She said she had been invited while denying she had broken into his car or was stalking him.
“I don’t know what to tell you,” she said.
Cops then took her into custody. She is now free on bond. According to an affidavit obtained by Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC, cameras showed Freeman arriving at the victim’s place of work 33 times in 19 days. She also allegedly made more than $1,000 worth of charges to his credit card on Amazon. North Ridgeville schools said in a statement that the district placed Freeman on administrative leave and is cooperating with the investigation.
