A man accused of stalking Lana Del Rey and arrested near to a concert of hers in February has been sentenced to one year in prison, report stated.
Michael Shawn Hunt, 43, agreed a plea deal that meant aggravated stalking and weapons charges were dropped and he will get credit for the 245 days he’s already served. He did not contest the charges.
The stalker was arrested earlier this year after police in Orlando were alerted to a possible threat against Del Rey was posted on Facebook. In court police stated they found mystical and threatening posts on Hunt’s Facebook page including one in which he wrote, “Lana and I will be together, I will likely be going on the rest of her tour with her.
After Hunt’s arrest, Del Rey told the crowd at a show in Atlanta that she was feeling a little rattled.
“I am actually just feeling a little more emotional than I thought after what happened in Orlando, but I just really wanted to be here with you guys tonight,” Del Rey said onstage. “And actually I was feeling totally fine, and then just got, I don’t know, a little bit nervous right when I got on stage. So I just want to say that I am super happy to be with you guys, and if I’m a little bit feathery, just bear with me, okay?”
