‘Stalker’ is arrested lurking outside Harry and Meghan’s Montecito mansion

An alleged stalker has been arrested lurking outside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito mansion during the middle of the night, according to reports.

It is understood that a member of their security team placed him under citizen’s arrest, before alerting the local police.

A spokesperson for the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office told TMZ that they received a phone call on Monday morning at around 2 a.m. from security staffers.

The tabloid said 29-year-old Kevin Garcia Valdovinos was placed under citizen’s arrest at the entrance to the couple’s property, citing the Santa Barbara cops.

Once police officers arrived, the man was taken into custody and booked for misdemeanor stalking, before later being released on $2,500 bail.

The law under which Valdovinos was arrested indicated this was not the first time he has committed a similar offense.

TMZ reported that he never made it on to the property, and that it was something he told security that prompted them to place him under citizen’s arrest.

It was not clear if Harry and Meghan were come at the time. The couple were in New York City last night attending the attending the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards, where Meghan was presented with an award.
