A 33-year-old Seattle man was arrested three times in five days at or near Taylor Swift’s New York apartment.
David Crowe’s latest arrest came just two hours after he was in court for stalking her home. Crowe first appeared at the McDonald’s two blocks away from Swift’s New York City townhouse. Then, a witness says Crowe eased his way back down to Swift’s building and was seen looking in a dumpster. Crowe sat down on the loading dock a few doors down from Swift’s apartment. Someone who recognized Crowe called 911.
Police arrested Crowe on a criminal contempt charge, due to the fact an order of protection had just been issued during his arraignment on two counts of harassment and two counts of stalking.
David Crowe has been in New York for at least the last few months. The New York Post reports prosecutors revealed that Crowe has staked out Taylor Swift’s townhouse 30 times in the past two months. And his recent arrest spree began Saturday afternoon when police got a 911 call about a “disorderly person” trying to open the door to Taylor Swift’s townhouse.
This is not the first time Taylor Swift has dealt with a stalker. Last summer, Westerly Rhode Island Police Chief Paul Gingerella said a woman who had previously been warned to stay away from Taylor Swift’s home in Rhode Island was arrested outside the beachfront property.
A Florida man broke into Swift’s home in New York City in 2018. He was sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to criminal contempt and attempted burglary. That was followed up in 2019 by an Iowa man who said he just wanted to meet the singer. He was arrested near her beachfront mansion carrying a crowbar and lock picks.
A few months after that experience, a man from New Jersey was caught inside her home.
