Taylor Swift stalker arrest at airport
39-year-old man wanted to accompany the pop star onto her plane
A Texas man accused of stalking singer Taylor Swift in Austin, Texas, has been charged with violating a lifetime restraining order.
Travis County records show Frank Andrew Hoover is being held on Friday on a charge of violating a protective order issued in Kansas that requires him to stay at least 500 feet (152 metres) away from the multi-Grammy award winning artist.
An affidavit says Hoover followed Swift’s motorcade after her October 22 concert at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas to a private area at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The affidavit says the 39-year-old suspect came within 50 feet of Swift. Hangar workers say he talked about wanting to accompany Swift onto her plane.
