(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte County man accused of stalking Taylor Swift is now currently in a mental health facility.

 

According to court records, 36-year-old Mitchell Taebel has been ruled unfit as of the moment to stand trial. As a result, a judge has ordered him into the care of the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction, where he will remain in their custody until deemed competent to stand trial.

 

The Long Beach man allegedly expressed his desire for Swift by sending her emails and traveling to where she was performing in an attempt to gain access to her.  Authorities noted that some of the emails found were threatening.

 

In May, he allegedly gained entry to her luxury condominium building in Nashville, and later a nearby concert building where she was scheduled to perform. He even produced a video of himself asking Swift to marry him, tagging her with the video in a social media post.

 

In every physical instance however, he was removed due to being viewed a security threat.
