US Singer Taylor Swift’s stalker is ordered to mental health facility after judge ruled Seattle law student was unfit to stand trial

USA singer, Taylor Swift’s stalker has been ordered to a mental health facility after a judge found him unfit to stand trial.

Manhattan criminal court judge Robert Rosenthal dismissed the criminal case against David Crowe, 33, in an adjournment hearing on Friday.

‘David Crowe is unfit to stand trial. The criminal case is now dismissed by function of law,’ the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told DailyMail.

‘He will now be committed to the custody of the Office of Mental Health to receive necessary treatment.’

This development comes just a day after after a psychiatric exam ordered by the court found Crowe ‘not fit to proceed not just on the evaluation, but also on the review of his criminal record’, his attorney said at the time.

Crowe will be moved from his current incarceration at Rikers, where he was held on $100,000 bail during his trial, to the custody of the Office of Mental Health, TMZ was first to report.

The Seattle law student, who had previously violated a protective order mandating he stay away from Swift and her home, has been seen outside her residence more than 30 times since November.

He was arrested a second time on January 22 after police received reports that he was ‘acting erratically’ outside Swift’s $20 million apartment on Franklin Street.

Later in the same week, on January 24 he was arraigned and issued the protection order.

Crowe was charged with stalking in the fourth-degree and harassment in the first- and second-degrees before he was released under supervision by a Manhattan judge.

But Crowe was seen diving into a large green dumpster across the pop superstar’s Tribeca home on the same afternoon.

He looked inside from different angles and was spotted by nearby neighbors who were left concerned at his actions before he was arrested the New York City Police Department.

An NYPD spokesman said police officers responded to a 911 call of a disorderly male on Franklin Street at 1:35 pm.

Once the cops arrived, he left the location and walked into the first precinct where he was taken into custody.

‘I just saw him digging through this dumpster, taking out some blankets and then he just went and sat down on the loading dock a few doors down [from Swift’s apartment],’ a resident told The New York Post.

His sweatshirt featured the quote by American author Ursula K Le Guin, which reads: ‘Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.’

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

A spokesperson for the New York Police Department (NYPD) said: ‘Officers were approached by multiple complainants who pointed out an emotionally disturbed male acting erratically at the location.

‘Once officers observed the male harassing multiple complainants, they took him to custody without further incidents, no injuries were reported.’
Prosecutors said that Crowe, from Seattle, has been spotted at Swift’s Tribeca home as many as 30 times since November 25. He allegedly asked to speak to the singer several times.

Crowe was asked about 10 times not to approach the building or to leave, according to prosecutors.

Celebrity barman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up about his absence from Davido’s wedding in Miami, Florida, citing long-standing US visa challenges.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Cubana Chief Priest stated that he woke up with “mixed feelings,” expressing both happiness for the couple and sadness over missing the event.

He noted that sometimes, life’s challenges serve as a reminder of human limitations, despite personal success.

Sharing a video from Davio’s traditional wedding held in Lagos in 2024, the entrepreneur wrote, “Woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I’m happy, and I’m still sad at the same time.

“Sometimes, God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless regardless of all you may think you have.”

Responding to criticism over his absence from the white wedding, Cubana Chief Priest said, “I appreciate the bashing because that has given me multiple reasons and proofs to apply again.”

Addressing the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, the entrepreneur wrote, “#usinnigeria do it for me this time. You can clearly see how disappointed and hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding. You need to give me access to get my fat ass into America. Well, delay is never denial — CP is still hopeful.”

Despite his absence, Cubana Chief Priest said his wife and family were present at the wedding to represent him.

He wrote, “The largest part of me, which is my family, my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent and sophisticated wife #_deangels, is there to share in this luxury blissful experience. So I’m there in body and spirit.

“I’m wishing my best friend #davido and his beautiful wife #thechefchi an amazing wedlock.”

He further stated that he will reapply for a visa next week, saying, “#usinnigeria I’m in again next week. Please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.”

Earlier in January, Cubana Chief Priest revealed on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds that errors made on his first visa application, which was filled out by someone else when he was younger, have persisted in the US immigration system and continue to cause denials.

“I have been denied access to America. If I had a visa to enter Yankee today, it would be a dream come true,” Cubana Chief Priest said.

“Somebody filled out my form when I was much younger and was trying to get into America. Some mistakes were coming up during interviews. And I think they have it on their system. Anytime I came, it kept popping up.

“David tells me about America and the lifestyle. It is something I want to experience. I hope very soon I am going to get access to get into Yankee”, he said.

Ekwutosblog reports that celebrities and friends joined Davido and Chioma for their pre-wedding party in Miami, United States, on Saturday.
