A third person was arrested in recent weeks for an incident near Taylor Swift's house.
The latest is a 38-year-old Colorado man who told police he'd road-tripped to her Beverly Hills residence in hopes of meeting the "Blank Space" singer, TMZ reported.
The man was reportedly busted on Saturday after he showed up in front of her house, prompting Swift's security team to alert the authorities.
He was then arrested for felony stalking after police spoke to him and looked through his car, according to TMZ.
The unidentified perpetrator — who remains in custody — is expected to be ordered to stay away from Swift following the arrest.
The arrest comes less than three weeks after a man named Bruce Rowley was arrested in Connecticut for allegedly robbing a bank — a stunt he told police he hoped would impress Swift, according to TMZ.
Rowley
also told authorities he tossed some of the stolen loot onto Swift's
property in Rhode Island, though it's unclear if he actually did go to
her home as he says.
State troopers chased Rowley back to Connecticut, where he was arrested, after spotting him in Rhode Island.
Another
man, Justin Lilly, was arrested for trespassing this month for
attempting to climb over a wall to Swift's Beverly Hills home, according
to the celebrity gossip site.
Police reportedly characterized Lilly as a transient, and he was sentenced to three days behind bars and three years' probation.
