Police respond to the home of a Nashville super star.
A 24 year old man is arrested after allegedly climbing a fence surrounding Taylor Swift's Green Hills home. The suspect has a criminal past.
Taylor Swift values her security. It's why you'll find gates and walls surrounding her home on Harding Place.
Late Thursday night 24 year old Jacob Kulke allegedly entered the property.
"These people fantasize with this stuff, and they're dangerous," says security expert Buford Tune.
Buford Tune trains security and bodyguards, many of whom protect celebrities.
Taylor Swift is a mega star, and according to the criminal warrant, Jacob Kulke took a bus from Wisconsin to surprise swift on her birthday.
The suspect tells police after he arrived in Nashville, he took a cab to get to Taylor Swift's house.
Kulke was apprehended by Swift's security after allegedly scaling a gate and fence outside the home. The police report indicates he was carrying a small knife.
Kulke's attorney met with him for about an hour Friday.
"He is a very good, very true fan of hers. I think some of this stems from maybe a misunderstanding between Mr. Kulke and the security guard on the premises," says attorney Sean McKinney.
FOX 17 News has learned Kulke is wanted in Colorado.
He has also been convicted of battery, disorderly conduct, and drug possession.
According to documents, Kulke told Swift's security he'd been in contact with her on social media. He may have even tweeted about his visit to Nashville. A post reads, "Had to go see about a girl."
Kulke allegedly told Swift's security, he was dating her.
Belmont professor Sybril Bennett says social media can have a psychological effect.
"Clearly there is a false sense of intimacy that can be created through social media," says Bennett.
Kulke remains in jail on a $10,000 bond. He's awaiting a court appearance next week.
Taylor Swift was not at home last night. She was celebrating her birthday in England with her boyfriend, Harry Styles.
Colorado police say they intend to pursue extradition proceedings against Jacob Kulke, which is why he's also being held on a fugitive from justice warrant.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
