Deputy District Attorney Andrew Warshawer presented the judge with time-stamped photographs of Crowe dumpster diving outside Swift’s New York City apartment shortly after his release from jail on Wednesday.

“The defendant has made it clear that he cannot follow the court’s orders, as evidenced by the available documents and photographs,” Warshawer said.

Before Crowe’s arraignment on Thursday, he was arrested on Wednesday. According to the New York Post, law enforcement sources told the outlet that Crowe was seen on January 24 dumpster diving outside Swift’s home, which led to his arrest.

“I saw him digging through this dumpster, taking out some blankets, and then he went and sat on the loading dock a few doors down (from Swift’s apartment),” one of Swift’s neighbors told the outlet.

“My heart sank,” the neighbor continued. “I just thought, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this guy is back. I just want to never see this person again. I hope he gets the help he needs, but he needs to leave our little street alone.’

The neighbor, who requested anonymity, mentioned seeing Crowe before.
