Paris Hilton stalker arrested

A 36 year-old man accused of stalking Paris Hilton was arrested after being spotted standing on the beach and looking into her Malibu home

James Rainford, who is barred by a previous court order from being within 200 yards of Hilton, was taken into custody, the Los Angeles Sheriff's department said.

Rainford was found trespassing on Hilton's house in the Hollywood Hills late last year, and in April he was convicted of attacking the socialite's then boyfriend outside a Los Angeles court house.

Celebrity website TMZ.com reported that Hilton watched from her balcony as a shirtless Rainford was handcuffed on the beach and arrested for violating the stayaway order.
