NEW YORK (AP) — A 35-year-old New York man is facing trespassing and stalking charges after authorities said he entered two New York City residences linked to the famed singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
Police say the suspect, who was arrested Friday, entered one of the residential buildings, located in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood, on March 26.
He walked “through an unlocked door and remained unlawfully” before fleeing on foot when security told him to leave, investigators said.
On June 12, the same man entered another residential building linked to Swift, located on the same street, and “made threats through the intercom toward a 32 year-old female,” according to a spokesperson for the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information.
Swift, 32, has had prior issues with alleged stalkers. In 2018, police said a man broke into her Tribeca townhouse and took a nap. That same year, a Colorado man was arrested outside a Beverly Hills home owned by Swift with a knife, a rope and ammunition.

Smith, a former acquaintance and client of Murdaugh, faces a myriad of
charges in relation to his involvement with the former attorney.

He added: "Mr. Smith came to me from jail. His bond is revoked and he is put back in jail."Misleading the court about money was "the initial reason for the motion to revoke bond," said the state prosecutor, adding that GPS tracking information showed Smith visited Walmart, private residences, and other locations "inconsistent with his house arrest."

"I've had to take almost all that money just to bond myself out," he said.Smith faces multiple charges in connection to his relationship with MurdaughIn June, Smith and Murdaugh were indicted in by a South Carolina State grand jury on two counts of criminal conspiracy. According to the indictment, over the course of eight years, Murdaugh gave Smith "hundreds of checks with common understanding that Smith would convert the checks into cash," with the proceeds going to Murdaugh's "benefit with the intent of carrying on and concealing myriad unlawful activities."The charges against Murdaugh and Smith involved "approximately 437 checks totaling approximately $2.4 million that went from Murdaugh to Smith from October 7, 2013, through February 28, 2021," according to a news release from South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson's office.

The agency charged Smith with assisted suicide, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, pointing and presenting a firearm, insurance fraud and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. Murdaugh, himself, faces more than 70 charges related to accusations of defrauding victims of nearly $8.5 million in different schemes.In July, the South Carolina Supreme Court disbarred Murdaugh, the announcement came just before he pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection to the deaths of his wife, Margaret "Maggie" Murdaugh, and their youngest son, Paul Murdaugh. Both were found shot to death on the family's property in June 2021.
