Caitlin Clark’s Stalker Admits to Being Guilty
After being arrested for the very scary and serious online threats he made towards the Indiana Fever superstar over the last few weeks, he was brought to court today to hear his charges which are as follows. One count of stalking, engaging in a “course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized.”
These messages took place between December 16 and January 2, via Elon Musk’s social media platform X. He was ultimately discovered via his IP address and tracked down by Indiana police. Michael went on a bizarre tirade while the judge was listing off his accusations, shouting several odd statements and causing a disturbance, per NBC News.
I need my medicines. I don’t want bond, bail, whatever, I’m here. I’m staying. Throw me the booky! I’m free! I guess you got the wrong guy!
