A Florida man, Michael Hunt, was arrested on Friday, Feb. 2, for stalking and attempting to kidnap Lana Del Rey. He was arrested about a block away from the Amway Center in Orlando, where she was performing. He was holding a knife at the time.
Police were tipped off when someone called in reporting Hunt’s suspicious posts on social media, reports Orlando Sentinel. Hunt wrote on Jan. 30:
“I want to see my queen on Friday and from that day forward our decisions will be as one.”
He also shared a video on Facebook the Wednesday before the Friday show in which he said:
“I’m going to probably finish out her tour with her, obviously, and dance and talk and figure out what we’re going to do.”
Thankfully, the Orlando Police saw this as a credible threat and was able to stop Hunt before he got to Lana. Hunt is now in custody at Orange County Jail with no bond.
