It's possible that the young
man accused of trespassing near Taylor Swift's posh new Rhode Island summer
home may not have deserved the "crazed fan" label after all.
Lucas H. Vorsteveld, who made
headlines earlier this month after being arrested near the country singer's
newly purchased $17.75 million property in the exclusive coastal town of Watch
Hill (population: 154), appeared in court Friday and pleaded no contest to a
trespassing charge. The 22-year-old, who was wearing a button-down denim shirt
and khaki shorts for his day in court, will have the charge expunged from his
record if he stays out of trouble for one year.
However, while Vorsteveld did
not dispute that he had trespassed, it's possible that the incident may not
have been directly related to the 22-year-old songstress after all. Captain
Shawn Lacey of Rhode Island’s Westerly Police Department told The Westerly Sun
newspaper that there was no evidence that he had trespassed on Swift’s property
before being found in the bushes on a nearby private road leading to the Watch
Hill Lighthouse.
As for reports that he was
trying to swim to Swift's property, Lacey said Vorsteveld could have tried to
prior to his arrest, but there was no indication from sources, including
Swift’s security, that any breach in security had occurred on the star's
property. (Source)
