Following his Monday arrest, David Crowe was charged with one count of stalking, one count of harassment in the first degree, and one count of harassment in the second degree.

If convicted of the second degree, he would be required to spend a year behind bars. 

His initial arrest on January 20 came after the NYPD responded to a 911 call regarding a break-in attempt. Crowe had allegedly “attempted to open a door to a building at the location.” Though the law enforcement did not comment on whose apartment he tried to break into, several eyewitnesses reportedly claimed he was there for the singer. 

It is unclear if Taylor was at her apartment the whole time but it can be confirmed that the You Belong With Me singer was in New York all along. She attended the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs game in the Big Apple on Sunday.
