In absolutely terrifying news, Paris Hilton‘s stalker James Rainford was arrested—on the beach, and shirtless—Monday afternoon. Another beachgoer noticed Rainford spying into the window of Hilton’s Malibu beach house and immediately phoned the authorities.
Rainford was arrested for violating “a valid restraining order prohibiting him from being within 200 yards of Miss Hilton or her residence,” according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.
That court order went into effect in January; in April, Rainford assaulted Hilton’s then-boyfriend Cy Waits. Rainford was immediately arrested at the scene, all the while insisting that Paris Hilton’s father had “given him permission to marry her,” TMZ reported. He was sentenced to 227 days in jail for misdemeanor battery, but he was released early. Obviously.
Rainford is being held on $20,000 bail which, honestly, is not enough money. There isn’t enough money. This guy is scary.
