This alarming event reportedly took place just two hours after the alleged stalker was granted supervised release from court.
Crowe had been in court earlier that day, answering to charges of stalking and harassment, per NBC New York.
Even though the prosecutor managed to secure a protective order from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Crowe was found near Swift's home shortly thereafter, resulting in his prompt arrest.

David Crowe is a 33-year-old Seattle man who has recently made headlines for his alleged stalking of singer Taylor Swift.
According to police sources cited by The New York Post, he was spotted rummaging through trash across the street from Swift's $50 million residence in Tribeca.
It is reported that the individual returned to Swift's residence immediately after being released on supervision during his arraignment, where he faced charges of stalking and harassment.
In photos procured by Page Six, he was seen clad in beige trousers, a coat of a neutral hue, and a blue backpack.
Crowe, who is reported to be "emotionally disturbed", has shown up at the Grammy-winning artist's apartment as many as 30 times over the past two months, as per law enforcement records.
However, during his hearing, he remained silent about his obsession with Swift's home and her personal life.

He was observed peering inside from various perspectives, alarming the neighboring residents before his arrest by the New York City Police Department.
A spokesperson for the NYPD informed DailyMail that police officers were dispatched in response to a 911 call reporting a disorderly man on Franklin Street at 1.35 pm.
Upon the arrival of the police, he vacated the premises and proceeded to the first precinct, where he was subsequently detained.
"I just saw him digging through this dumpster, taking out some blankets and then he just went and sat down on the loading dock a few doors down [from Swift’s apartment]," a resident said to The New York Post.
It remained uncertain whether Swift was at home on Monday when Crowe was apprehended.
On Sunday, Swift was in the Buffalo region, where her boyfriend Travis Kelce participated in an AFC Divisional Round game against the Bills.
What are the charges against Swift's stalker?
Crowe is reportedly slapped with charges of stalking and harassment. He refrained from entering a plea during the Wednesday hearing.
He is currently under the legal representation of an attorney from the public defender’s office.
