Roger Alvarado, 22, appeared at his arraignment at the Criminal Courthouse in Manhattan on Thursday hours after he allegedly broke into Taylor Swift's New York apartment
He kept his head down as he appeared at his arraignment on Thursday
Just 30 days after he was released from a Florida jail, Alvarado broke into Taylor Swift's Tribeca apartment at 2.20am
Cops were called to the scene and police officers found the door open in the home and said Alvarado had allegedly 'ransacked the place'.
Alvarado had climbed a ladder to a second-floor patio and smashed a glass door with a concrete block to get inside. He had also left a computer tower near the door.
Alvarado has been charged with stalking, burglary and criminal mischief.
Since Swift has an order of protection against Alvarado, he was also charged with criminal contempt for violating that order of protection.
It's at least the third time he's been found at Swift's home.
Police were seen escorting Alvarado out of the 1st Precinct located at 16 Ericsson Place Thursday afternoon.

Last month, Alvarado (pictured in December 2018), 22, of Homestead, Florida, pleaded guilty to criminal contempt and attempted burglary. He was sentenced to six months in jail for breaking into the pop star's home in April 2018 when officers found him taking a nap
Alvarado was also arrested in February 2018 on charges of breaking the front door with a shovel.
A message requesting comment was emailed to Swift's representative.
Court records didn't list a lawyer who could comment on Alvarado's behalf.
This incident comes after Swift recently revealed that she was so shaken by the deadly suicide bomb attack at Ariana Grande's Manchester concert, that she increased her security at shows and carried gun wound bandages with her wherever she went.
Swift is also no stranger to stalkers, which has prompted her to up her security measures.
In September 2018, she was granted a restraining order on stalker of two years, 26-year-old Eric Swarbrick who had been sending the star letters since 2016.
In one he declared: 'I want to rape Taylor Swift. This is why I hate Taylor herself ... This is how I know I am Taylor's soulmate.'
He said: 'I will not hesitate to kill her ... and there's nothing you, your lawyers, or the law will be about to do about it. Remember who I am.'
In April 2018, Julius Alexander Sandrock, was arrested for felony stalking for trying to break into her home, wearing a mask and rubber gloves was a knife, live ammunition, and black rope.
The 38-year-old told police he had driven across several states to meet the star, who was not home at the time of the incident.

Alvarado w...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
