“Police say a Connecticut man with a crush on singer Taylor Swift robbed a bank and then went to the pop star’s Rhode Island mansion where he threw cash over a fence in an attempt to impress her,” the AP reports. “Bruce Rowley, of Derby, is charged with robbing an Ansonia bank on April 4.”

The report adds: “Police say ‘it seemed he wanted to propose’ to Swift, so he drove about 60 miles to Westerly, Rhode Island, and started throwing some of the roughly $1,600 he’s charged with stealing over Swift’s fence.”

Rhode Island State Police reportedly pursued Rowley, 26, back to Connecticut, where he was arrested and allegedly told authorities about his plan.
