Richard Levis, 48, who lives in Butler, was arrested after an investigation by Oakland police and members of Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo's Confidential Investigations Unit.

He became a target after his estranged wife "discovered a GPS in her vehicle and that Levis had been using the device to track her whereabouts," Calo said.

Levis remained free pending a Jan. 23 first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, the prosecutor said.
