Taylor Swift: Armed Stalker Arrested Trying to Break In!
Last week, a man obsessed with Taylor Swift robbed a bank and tried to propose marriage to her. It didn’t work out the way that he’d planned.
This new stalker and new incident, however, are much more alarming.
A man has been arrested after allegedly trying to break into Taylor’s home. He was masked, he wore gloves, and he was in possession of ammunition, a knife, and rope.
TMZ reports that a stalker was arrested at Taylor Swift’s Beverly Hills mansion while trying to break in.
The man, 38-year-old Julius Sandrock, had apparently traveled all the way from Colorado to attempt this.
While it might be easy to dismiss as a harebrained scheme that was doomed to fail from the start, there are some alarming details.
Security spotted a suspicious man and called the police.
Police arrested Sandrock for felony stalking after searching his person and his vehicle.
What they found during their search had them seriously concerned for Taylor’s safety and about the stalker’s intentions.
Taylor’s most recent stalker told police that he had thrown stolen money over a fence in a ludicrous effort to impress her.
Julius Sandrock brought … other things.
When police found Sandrock, he was wearing rubber gloves and a mask.
It was the supplies that he had stashed in his car that makes this story so scary.
In his car, police allegedly found an empty gun holster, live rounds of ammunition, latex gloves, black gloves, a knife, various masks, black rope, prescription medication, and “psychologist paperwork.”
Based upon what they had found and after Sandrock admitted to them that he owns multiple firearms, police sought and were granted a temporary firearms restraining order against him.
According to court documents acquired by the New York Daily News, Sandrock was released from police custody on Tuesday.
Court documents reveal that Sandrock has struggled with his mental health.
“Respondent told arresting officers that he suffers from severe depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and manic episodes.”
The medications found in his vehicle were oxycodone and the anti-depressant fluoxetine. The latter is better known as Prozac.
It is not immediately clear if the powerful painkiller medication oxycodone is something that Sandrock should have been taking or if it was intended for Taylor.
Sandrock is already on probation for disorderly conduct and discharging a firearm in Colorado.
He has a follow-up court appearance to extend the restraining order on May 9.
We know that some may feel tempted to laugh at this series of events.
Taylor wasn’t hurt, or even there.
The idea of multiple men who are fixated on her traveling across state lines while on ill-fated missions to meet her is farcical. Particularly given that she was not at either home at the time.
And then you have the reminder that Taylor Swift owns many, many homes.
Some fans are reminded of stories of paranoid dictators and crime lords who quietly move between residences because they fear assassination.
But Taylor isn’t a dictator (though she’d be a great one) and she isn’t a crime lord. She’s a young woman who shares her music to bring joy to millions of fans.
She doesn’t deserve to be endangered, and stalkers are dangerous.
Taylor had a bank-robber throw money at her Rhode Island home last week.
This week, a many carrying worrisome paraphernalia was arrested attempting to break into her Beverly Hills home.
Additionally, Taylor’s security had to call the police when a man named Justin Lilly apparently refused to leave her Beverly Hills property.
Lilly’s actions may have been incidental rather than targeted at Taylor, as he is believed to be homeless.
Regardless, this has to be scary. We hope that Taylor is safe and secure … at whichever house she is currently inhabiting.

Adam Hicks: Disney Star Arrested After String of Armed Robberies!
It wasn’t that long ago that we openly wondered if Adam Hicks was the next big Disney star.
Hicks was one of the stars of Lemonade Mouth. His costar Hayley Kiyoko is now a successful singer and an LGBT icon. His costar Naomi Scott is a successful actress, playing a Power Ranger in the 2017 film and playing Princess Jasmine in Disney’s new live-action Aladdin.
Adam Hicks, however, has been arrested — for suspicion of committing a string of armed robberies.
25-year-old former Disney star Adam Hicks and a 23-year-old reported to be his girlfriend, Danni Tamburo, have been arrested.
Police believe that the couple committed a series of armed robberies in Burbank, California.
The couple were picked up on Wednesday. Bail for each of them has been set at $ 350,000.
On Thursday, Sgt. Derek Green of Burbank Police told EW that Adam Hicks “was arrested yesterday afternoon in connection with a string of armed street robberies that occurred yesterday morning.”
Reportedly, a 52-year-old man was walking in Burbank when he was accosted by “a male armed with a handgun,” who demanded the man’s wallet.
Police believe that this armed man was Adam Hicks.
The victim got away safely.
But the armed robber wasn’t done. There were three more armed robberies within the same area, which apparently took place while police were investigating the first one.
That’s a lot of gun-pointing and money-stealing in a very brief window of time.
In case you’re wondering what role Danni Tamburo is meant to have played in all of this, police believe that she was driving the vehicle during the robberies.
Based upon the statements from investigators, it sounds like Tamburo drove up on people who were walking alone, Hicks got out and robbed them at gunpoint, and then Hicks jumped back into the car and they drove off in search of the next victim.
That is, again, based upon what police have revealed. It’s all allegations at the moment. But also serious allegations.
Police identified the suspects through their car (a dark-colored Kia, which I would never be able to identify which would make me a terrible witness to a crime) and, once they found the vehicle, that led them to further evidence.
“Officers found property with the vehicle belonging to one of the robbery victims, and additional stolen property in a nearby area.”
Normally, when we talk about Disney stars “gone bad,” people are talking about a few different things.
-Someone who’s developed behavioral problems or perhaps psychiatric issues and might be drinking too much or breaking minor laws.
-Someone who’s a grown adult and no longer dressing like a grown adult and therefore people are shaming that actress for having a body and perhaps even having a sex life.
-Someone who finds religion in a very impolite way, and turns their back on everything and everyone who got them to where they are in the world and also on their fans because their love for Scientology or Jesus or Buddhism now somehow makes them hate everything else.
-Somebody who’s just being rowdy and entitled and a prima donna because they were a big star in their tweens.
What Adam Hicks is accused of doing is … something of an outlier.
Armed robberies by former actors happen, but they’re usually years and years after that person last acted.
(A whole bunch of former Power Rangers actors have ended up dead or in prison, to the point where people joke about there having been a curse)
But Adam Hicks is still on a show, Freakish. It’s a Hulu original and the second season premiered … three months ago.
Some shows pay better than others, but why and how is he so hard up for cash that he’s allegedly robbing people when he’s unlikely to make more than a few hundred dollars off of it?
We have to imagine that there’s more to this than we know.

Eric Chase Bolling Had an Armed Standoff With SWAT
Ever since the tragic death of 19-year-old Eric Chase Bolling, investigators have puzzled over whether and how the teen’s tragic death may have been tied to his father’s sexual harassment scandal.
In fact, there’s still a lot about Eric Chase’s death that we don’t know.
But a shocking new revelation about an incident that took place before his death may shed new light on how his life was cut tragically short.
Prior to the recent calls for justice against sexual predators in Hollywood in the wake of the Weinstein scandal, there was a similar, smaller ousting of men at Fox News who have been accused of sexual harassment.
There were, unfortunately, a lot of them, even within one organization. Critics accuse Fox News of having fostered a culture of permissiveness towards men and silence regarding their unacceptable behavior.
Eric Bolling was ousted for lewd sexting, after he was accused of sending unsolicited photos of his genitals to multiple women in the workplace.
Let’s be clear, folks — unsolicited dickpics are never okay. Best case scenario, the person on the other end doesn’t mind.
But it’s a far more likely scenario that they’ll be annoyed or feel harassed, pressured, uncomfortable, and even violated.
This is much more true when it comes to people in the workplace.
Do not send your nudes to your colleagues. Do not harass them. You are at work.
You would think that being ousted in such a scandal would be the worst moment in Eric Bolling’s life, or at least on that particular day.
It was not, however, because Eric Chase Bolling died just hours after that news broke.
Eric Chase Bolling’s cause of death was officially ruled as an accidental overdose. Cocaine and opiates were found in his system.
The report that this was accidental conflicted with initial reports that he had taken his own life.
His father had made efforts to clarify that they didn’t have all of the facts when people reported that the 19-year-old had taken his life.
Fatal overdoses tend to have a great deal of ambiguity, as they can sometimes be impossible to differentiate from suicides.
There’s an important factor to consider here:
Eric Bolling and his family were Roman Catholic. If his son’s death had been ruled as a suicide, it would have had implications for him — both in terms of where and how he could be laid to rest and, theologically, for what awaited him in the afterlife.
We’re not suggesting that Bolling exerted any pressures upon the medical examiner, but just stressing how important this ruling by the coroner was for the Bolling family.
The new information that has come to light does suggest that Eric Chase had a struggle with substance abuse that long predated his father’s scandal and dismissal.
RadarOnline is reporting that Eric Chase Bolling was involved in a stand-off with SWAT, two entire months before he died.
They report that, according to documents received from the Boulder police department, a 21-year-old University of Colorado student accused 19-year-old Eric Chase of holding him hostage at gunpoint.
The alleged incident did not occur on University of Colorado campus, where both men were students, but at an off-campus apartment.
On July 7th, the 21-year-old called his mother in North Carolina and reported to her that Eric Chase, whom he alleged was on cocaine at the time, and six others were refusing to allow him to leave the apartment.
The student’s mother called the police, who sent SWAT to Eric Chase’s apartment. The result was a stand-off.
It apparently took a full hour for police to talk Eric Chase into surrendering. He was cuffed and brought in for questioning, and the unnamed 21-year-old was freed.
An officer who interviewed Eric Chase noted in his report that he believed that 19-year-old Eric Chase was “intoxicated during the interview,” also noting:
“He was slurring his speech, his eyes were bloodshot and he was sweating profusely from his forehead.”
The officer’s report also mentioned a suspicion of “other illicit drugs” in the young man’s system. Despite that, Eric Chase only confessed to alcohol and marijuana.
Beyond that, Eric Chase’s roommate apparently gave a very damning report, alleging that the 19-year-old had been associating with a very wrong crowd.
“Throughout the summer Bolling…began bringing ‘kids’ over that were not in school. These people were selling drugs and carrying guns,” the roommate revealed to police.
Police were unable to find cocaine or guns in the apartment, but another witness alleged that the guns, at least, had been stashed in a woman’s trunk before police arrived.
It’s important to note that the accusations leveled by the roommate seem to suggest that Eric Chase was not leading these people, but that they liked the 19-year-old’s wealth and hung around him.
But this speaks to a massive problem.
And now we have to ask why an alleged armed kidnapping by a TV star’s son is only now becoming public knowledge. We can only guess.
This does put Eric Chase’s eventual overdose into perspective, however. It sounds like he really, truly had some problems.
