Alleged Taylor Swift Stalker Cleared of Charges – Find Out Why!
UPDATE: LaPorte County Prosecutor Dismisses Stalking Charges Against Long Beach Man Claiming to be Taylor Swift’s Soulmate
The LaPorte County prosecutor has recently dismissed felony stalking and intimidation charges filed against a Long Beach man who claims to be Taylor Swift’s soulmate and went to extraordinary lengths to be near the music superstar. The charges against Mitchell Taebel, 37, were dismissed at the prosecutor’s request, citing the unavailability of a key witness.
Although the case against Taebel was dismissed without prejudice, leaving the possibility for charges to be refiled at a later date, the prosecutor stated the unavailability of the witness as the reason for the dismissal. Prosecutor Sean Fagan mentioned that in some cases, factors like the age of the case, lack of evidence meeting the standard for conviction, or unavailable witnesses can lead to dismissing charges, which was the scenario in Taebel’s case.
Taebel was arrested on the night of Swift’s concert at Soldier Field in Chicago after allegedly crossing the country to gain access to the music star, sending threatening messages on social media, and proposing marriage through his various online platforms. He even managed to enter Swift’s luxury condo building and concert venue in Tennessee before being identified as a security threat by Swift’s team and removed.
Swift’s management team obtained a temporary restraining order against Taebel, which he was accused of violating by continuing to involve Swift in his social media posts. The charges against Taebel mentioned his delusional belief of marrying Swift and having her as the first lady if he becomes the president.
In addition to the stalking charges related to Taylor Swift, Taebel is facing similar charges in another case involving allegations of stalking and harassment against a childhood acquaintance over several years. He was released from jail after posting bond for his appearance in future court proceedings.
