Last month, Crowe was arrested three times outside Taylor Swift’s (pictured) home in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood as he was accused of stalking and harassing the star after being spotted near her apartment 30 times since November.

He has been in custody since violating a protective order requiring him to stay away from Swift and her home when he was caught on camera rummaging through the large green dumpster across the street from the Tribeca home.

Crowe has since been held at Rikers on $100,000 bail for contempt after violating the protective order.

The alleged stalker was arrested on January 21 after a failed attempt to enter Swift’s apartment building.

He was arrested for a second time on January 22 after police were told he was “acting erratically” outside Swift’s $20 million apartment on Franklin Street.

Later that same week, on January 24, he was charged and the protective order was issued. Crowe was charged with fourth-degree stalking and first- and second-degree harassment before being released on supervised release by a Manhattan judge.

But Crowe, who was wearing a gray jacket, light pants, white sneakers and a blue backpack, was spotted in a large green dumpster across the street from the pop superstar’s Tribeca home that same afternoon.

Court documents show that an unidentified security guard saw Crowe near the singer’s Manhattan home about 30 times since November 25 last year and was repeatedly told to leave the area.

Crowe had previously been charged with stalking and harassment and was ordered by a judge on January 24 to stay away from Swift’s home. His most recent charge stemmed from that violation of the protective order

He looked in from several angles and was spotted by nearby neighbors who were concerned about his actions before he was arrested by New York City police.

An NYPD spokesperson said officers responded to a 911 call of a disorderly man on Franklin Street at 1:35 p.m.

When police arrived, he left the location and walked into the first police station where he was taken into custody.

“I just saw him digging through this dumpster, pulling out some blankets and then he just sat on the loading dock a few doors down (from Swift’s apartment),” one resident said. The New York Post.

On his sweatshirt was the quote from American author Ursula K Le Guin, which reads: ‘Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; made again and again, made new.’

A neighbor told the New York Post that the man had been seen regularly outside the building since Christmas, sitting on the sidewalk, chain-smoking, and telling people he was there to see Swift. At one point he even had flowers for her.

A spokesperson for the New York Police Department (NYPD) said: “Officers were contacted by multiple complainants reporting an emotionally disturbed male behaving erratically at the location.

“When officers observed the man harassing multiple complainants, they took him into custody without further incident. No injuries were reported.”

Prosecutors said Crowe, of Seattle, has been spotted at Swift’s Tribeca home as many as 30 times since Nov. 25. He is said to have asked several times to speak to the singer.

According to prosecutors, Crowe was asked about a dozen times not to approach or leave the building.
