Taylor Swift’s Stalker Released

A man recently jailed for breaking into Taylor Swift’s New York City townhouse was arrested early Thursday after he did it again.

Roger Alvarado, 23, of Homestead, Florida, climbed a ladder and smashed a glass door to get inside Taylor’s home around 2:30 a.m., police said. No one was home, according to police, who did not provide information on how he was caught. Alvarado, on probation after getting out of jail February 5th, faces stalking and burglary charges.

This is at least the third time Alvarado has been arrested at Swift’s home. The singer owns an $18 million, three-story building in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.

A break-in in April, in which police say Alvarado used Swift’s shower and slept in her bed, put him behind bars for more than nine months. As part of the sentence, a judge also ordered Alvarado to complete a mental-health program. Two months before that, he was arrested for allegedly breaking the front door with a shovel. Swift wasn’t home on either occasion.

In her new essay for ELLE magazine, Taylor explains why she’s always fearful of being attacked. “Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online,” she writes. “You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things.”
