A Seattle man was arrested for a third time in five days — less than an hour after being released a second time by a Manhattan judge — after police said he was lurking outside of Taylor Swift’s Tribeca townhouse.

According to court records, David Crowe now faces numerous charges including stalking, harassment and criminal contempt. On Wednesday, a judge granted a temporary order of protection and charged Crowe with criminal contempt in the second degree, meaning he was being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law.

Andrew Warshawer, a deputy chief in the New York County District Attorney’s Office, said Crowe willfully disobeyed the order of protection issued by the judge. Photographic and video evidence showed Crowe returning to a dumpster near Swift’s apartment after being released from an arraignment Wednesday.

Prosecutors asked for supervised release at the highest possible level stating in court filings: “These cases are not deemed bail-eligible, however [Crowe’s] continued conduct in showing up to this location despite numerous directives to leave shows a clear risk that [Crowe] will not abide by court orders to return to court.”

When Crowe was asked by Fox 5 in New York why he was stalking Swift, he said, “I’m not, I was grabbing some of my pants they threw in the dumpster when they falsely arrested me.”

According to a police report, an informant said Crowe has been at Swift’s apartment about 30 times since November 25, 2023. The report stated that a “custodian” for the property asked Crowe on 10 occasions not to approach the building and leave the immediate area.
