Law enforcement had been tracking 38-year-old John Ford, the guy who showed up twice at Kendall’s home, for the past few weeks.
Last October, Ford scaled a hill and ended up by Jenner’s swimming pool and came back again shortly after and ended up on her front porch.
Ford who is actually a Canadian citizen whose visitor visa expired months ago, has been living illegally in the U.S. Ford entered the country a year ago from Canada at Sweetwater, Montana, with a non-immigrant B-2 visa, which allowed him to stay in the States for no longer than six months.
ICE agents immediately began searching for Ford, and they got their man Monday at a New Mexico hotel.
An ICE spokesperson said: “This timely arrest could very well have prevented a violent crime. Our special agents acted quickly on this tip to ensure that this obsessive behavior didn’t escalate to become a tragedy.”
Ford is currently in ICE custody in El Paso, Texas and is awaiting a deportation hearing.
The Kardashian-Jenner family responded, “We are extremely appreciative of the hard work by the Los Angeles Police Dept. and ICE, whose swift response and professionalism led to this man’s apprehension. His actions have not only had a severe impact on Kendall’s life, but the entire family’s sense of security, causing us to fear for Kendall’s safety as well as our own. Knowing this individual is in custody gives us peace of mind.”
