Sandrock told police he had driven from his home in Colorado to see Swift. He also told officers that he owned three handguns and is on probation in Colorado for firing one of those weapons.

Sandrock was arrested in Jefferson County for a felony menacing charge last year. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct.

He was arrested on suspicion of felony stalking.

Swift, 28, lives in New York. Another man was arrested on April 8 for trespassing on the same California property.
