Nashville — A 26-year-old Austin, Texas, man has been arrested on federal charges for allegedly sending threatening letters to pop star Taylor Swift and showing up at her record label in Nashville, Tennessee.

Federal prosecutors in Nashville said in a press release on Thursday that Eric Swarbrick has been charged with interstate stalking and sending interstate communications with the intent to threaten.

He is currently in custody in Texas and will be brought to Tennessee at a later date.
