SPRING CITY, PA —A 49-year-old Spring City man was arrested Wednesday on charges of stalking his ex-girlfriend by putting a tracking device in her vehicle for three months.

Keith Dewalt is free on $20,000 bail after being arraigned before District Judge John Hipple on charges of stalking, criminal use of a computer and related charges.

The victim, who was not identified, contacted North Coventry police to report that her vehicle was being tracked by an ex-boyfriend identified as Keith Dewalt.
