NEW YORK, NY — A stalker has been arrested for breaking into Taylor Swift's Tribeca home for the third time, police said.

Roger Alvarado of Homestead, Florida was arrested around 2:30 a.m. March 6 after he climbed a ladder to a second-floor patio and smashed a glass door to get inside the Franklin Street townhouse, police said.

The pop star was not at home at the time.

It's at least the third time Alvarado has been found at Swift's home. He recently served six months for a break-in there last April when he was found sleeping in the singer's bed after using her shower. Swift was not home.

Alvarado was also arrested in February 2018 on charges of breaking the front door with a shovel.
