Taylor Swift's suspected stalker was reportedly arrested on Wednesday near her New York City apartment, less than two hours after he faced a judge in connection to stalking and harassment charges.

The man, identified as David Crowe, was dressed in all neutral, wearing a tan drawstring hoodie, tan pants, and a black jacket.

According to The Daily Mail, Crowe did not put up a fight as police officers apprehended him, cuffed him, and walked him to the back of a police vehicle.

"I'm not sure if he knocked or rang the doorbell... it was all pretty civil. He didn't resist," an eyewitness claimed. "There was no yelling or anything."

Fox News reports Crowe is 33-year-old Seattle native, who, according to the New York Police Department, has been spotted multiple times lingering around Swift's building.

After his arrest, Crowe appeared in court where he was charged with stalking in the fourth degree and first and second-degree harassment. The assistant district attorney said in court Wednesday that he was "asked to leave over 10 times." According to the news outlet, a judge granted a full order of protection.

Per USA Today, Crowe has been arrested three times in just five days. A police report stated he was seen around Swift's apartment 30 times since November. He is due to show up in court again on March 12.

Crowe isn't the only suspected stalker of the "Shake it Off" singer.

A year ago, Roger Alvarado was also arrested and taken into custody after an alleged attempt to break into the singer's home.

He reportedly told cops, "I don't want to hurt her. I just want to speak to her, to talk to her. She seems nice." Alvarado plead guilty and was sentenced to a minimum of two years in prison.

Buzzfeed reported about "billions" of fans waiting for Swift, 34, to walk from her front door to her car. Although fans seem to have enjoyed it throughout the years, Swift says she is quite anxious about the situation.

"I carry QuikClot army-grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds. Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I've ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things," she explained in an interview with Elle.

"Everyday I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I've witnessed and the faith I have in humanity," she continued. "We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears."

Her Tribeca townhouse is also home to fellow A-listers including Jay-Z and Beyonce, Robert DeNiro, and Jennifer Lopez.
