Taylor Swift‘s alleged stalker was arrested early Thursday after a man broke into her New York City home.
Roger Alvarado is accused of accessing the pop star’s home at around 2:20 a.m. by climbing to the second floor on a ladder and using a concrete block to smash a patio door.
Police officers who arrived on scene found the home ransacked and a computer tower sitting near the door.
Swift was not at home at the time.
Alvarado, 22, has been charged with burglary, stalking, criminal mischief, and felony criminal contempt for violating an order of protection Swift was granted.
Alvarado was sentenced last month to six months in jail for breaking into her home last April and using her shower and bed.
This week, Swift expressed concerns for her safety in a column she wrote for Elle.
“My fear of violence has continued into my personal life. I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,” she admitted.
“Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things.”
