Hilary's stalker caught!

Hilary’s stalker, Maksim Miakovsky, has been arrested after his obsession turned to death threats against Hilary Duff!

From TMZ:

Manhattan Beach cops arrested Maksim Miakovsky, an 18-year-old Russian emigre, at a Residence Inn last Friday. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking.

TMZ first reported last month that Duff and her boyfriend, Joel Madden, were terrified that Miakovsky would do harm to them. Duff and Madden asked for a restraining order, alleging that Miakovsky "has stated his intention of ‘removing’ his ‘enemies’ (i.e., those who prevent him from being with her), has stated his intention of purchasing a weapon, and has threatened to kill himself and to engage in dramatic actions to get her attention."

Sources tell TMZ that last Friday, a private investigator from Sunset Protective Services contacted Miakovsky at the Residence Inn and Miakovsky stated his intention of killing Duff on Sunday at an event she was scheduled to attend.

According to legal papers filed by Duff, Miakovsky came to the U.S. "for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff."

Miakovsky is currently being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail. He’s scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday.

I am glad Miakovsky was caught. He was truly a creepy guy – he even tried to engage here on the blog to defend his obsessions – and was causing a lot of trouble for her. Good luck to her legal team in keeping him in jail!

Thanks to Lisa for the tip!

    Hahah I agree with Bret- Max IS one crazy mothafucka. I’m surprised it took him this long to get arrested. If I thought he was going to get arrested at all, it would have been like a month after he graduated and moved to LA.

  17. Simply Dumb » Angelina Jolie Death Threat

    [...] This is so dumb!  Doesn’t al-Qaeda have bigger Jihads to fry?  This is almost as dumb as popstar Hilary Duff getting death threats. [...]
