The court had just granted Crowe supervised release before he promptly allegedly violated an order of protection the court had also granted, [NBC reported](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/taylor-swift-stalker-arrested-for-3rd-time-in-5-days-near-her-nyc-townhouse-sources/5071348/ "undefined"). Prosecutors already alleged that Crowe has shown up to Swift’s building 30 times in the past two months despite being repeatedly asked to leave.
