In a shocking turn of events, Drew Barrymore’s alleged stalker was arrested in New York on Thursday. The man had been relentlessly trying to reach the actress, even going as far as rushing the stage at a 92nd Street Y event, demanding to see her.
The 43-year-old resident of Washington, D.C. was taken into custody by Southampton Town Police and booked on a charge of stalking. However, he was later released due to the state’s bail reform laws.
A Disturbing Pattern of Behavior
This is not the first time the man has exhibited concerning behavior. Earlier in the week, he was detained and released after going door to door in Barrymore’s neighborhood, asking residents about her whereabouts.
Following a thorough investigation, the police determined that the man’s actions constituted stalking, leading to his arrest on Thursday.
A Frightening Encounter

As the man yelled Barrymore’s name and insisted on seeing her, the talk show host’s expression changed, and she became visibly alarmed. Rapp quickly came to her aid, escorting her out of the room while security guards intercepted the man.
