BUSTED: AirTags Lead Police Straight to Home of Retired Columbus State Professor and Democrat-Donor Wife After Conservative Candidate’s Campaign Signs Disappear (VIDEO)

A conservative-leaning independent candidate in Columbus, Georgia, used Apple AirTags hidden in his campaign signs to track down those who were removing them. The trackers led to the home of retired Columbus State educator Richard Spencer Garrard and his wife, Rev. Dr. Cindy Cox Garrard, a Democrat donor. Four signs were recovered from the couple’s residence, with Rev. Dr. Cindy Cox Garrard later accepting responsibility for removing them, stating she believed they were illegally placed.

• Independent candidate Stephen Acorn hid Apple AirTags in his campaign signs after they repeatedly disappeared.
• The AirTags led Acorn and police to the home of retired Columbus State educator Richard Spencer Garrard and his wife, Rev. Dr. Cindy Cox Garrard.
• Four stolen campaign signs were recovered from the Garrards’ residence.
• Rev. Dr. Cindy Cox Garrard stated she removed the signs because she believed they were illegally placed on a public right-of-way and denied her husband’s involvement.
• Election records show Rev. Dr. Cindy Cox Garrard had previously donated to the campaign of Acorn’s opponent, Debbie Buckner.
• Acorn initially gave the Garrards an opportunity to apologize before posting their identities online, and is considering pressing charges.
