Around 3’o clock, on Thursday, Morgan Mank was arrested and taken to a hospital for evaluation. He crashed into a building owned by Taylor Swift, tried to get inside, but was apprehended. Before the crash, Morgan was driving the wrong way on Franklin Street in the Tribeca neighbourhood where Swift has a few properties. The man from Virginia was under influence of alcohol. After he crashed into the building, he tried to get in and destroyed the intercom. Mank tore off the intercom, leaving the wires exposed. Luckily he was not hurt.
It is still not confirmed, but law enforcement sources say that 31-year-old Mank told officers he wouldn't leave until he met with Swift. He was drunkenly rambling about wanting to see Taylor.
After an evaluation at the hospital, he was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired. There is no information to clarify did he have a lawyer present.
