53-Year-Old Busted for Attempting to Stalk Miley

Posted Aug 5th 2009 10:12AM by TMZ Staff

The creepiest thing about the 53-year-old guy in this photo isn't the hair -- it's that he's been arrested a second time for allegedly targeting 16-year-old Miley Cyrus.

Mark McLeod -- the same guy who once claimed Miley had been sending him "secret messages" through her TV show -- has been arrested in Georgia on an "attempted stalking" charge.

Back in June, McLeod was warned to stay away from Miley, after a disorderly conduct arrest in which he told cops no one could keep them from "being together." Cops then warned McLeod to keep away from the actress.

But this week, cops say McLeod was spotted hanging around the area where Miley is shooting her new movie -- so they got a warrant and yesterday, they arrested the guy.

We're told McLeod admitted he was trying to get in contact with Miley when he was arrested.

McLeod is currently being held at the Columbia County Detention Center.

As we first reported, Disney got wind of Mark's June arrest -- the one in which he allegedly told cops a slew of crazy stuff about Miley -- and warned cops in L.A. to keep their eyes on him.

1. When will stalkers ever learn?

You don't tell people like Miley Cyrus your insane ideas until AFTER you kidnap them.

And in this case I wish he'd succeeded.

3. Let this be a lesson to other stalkers of talentless teens and hopefully next time things will go more according to plan.

Don't tell the object of your insane desires your intentions until AFTER you've kidnapped her and tied her up in the basement.

5. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS GUY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. WE CAN'T STAND BY WAITING TO SEE IF THIS GUY IS A "REAL" PSYCHO OR JUST AN OVER ZEALOUS FAN. THIS MAN IS AN IN-YOUR-FACE STALKER. MILEY DOESN'T NEED TO WIND UP DEAD. QUIT WORRYING ABOUT INFRINGING ON THIS GUY'S "RIGHTS" AND LOCK HIM UP BEFORE WE LOSE YET ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD IDOL. PERSONALLY, I'M NOT A MILEY CYRUS FAN BUT I SURE WOULDN'T WANT HER TO END UP IN A CEMETARY. THE POLICE ARE AWARE HE'S STALKING HER, ISSUE A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HIM STATING HE MUST STAY AWAY FROM MILEY AND IF HE'S CAUGHT ANY WHERE NEAR HER AGAIN, LOCK HIM UP FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

6. Guess no one will do anything until this man actually kills her. Lock him up in another state and keep him there.

7. I think they would make a good looking couple! "Miley McLeod", it's got a nice ring to it!

8. He's no different than any other man. They either like little girls or other men. Couldn't he have stalked a better looking teen?

12. Ordinarily, I defend the victim. This time, let me state that I have no defense nor sympathy for the younger girls among us who wear bizarre and provocative fashions and then feign OMG! when they get stalked or indecently propositioned. In Los Angeles, girls are wearing their skirt length so short that it barely skims their private zone. Espicially the latina females expose their cleavage year-around. To add to this offending peep show, those wearing the short-shorts or short skirts wear their highest high heels. Do they look at themselves in the mirror before walking out in public? Are you the parent of one of these trashy-looking teens?
