The 59-year-old retired firefighter busted twice in four days outside Madonna's Upper West Side apartment was charged Wednesday with stalking the pop icon, and he said he "won't stop" until he actually meets the singer.
Robert Linhart appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court, where he was charged with criminal weapons possession -- he carried a Leatherman knife and a pocket knife -- as well as disorderly conduct, making graffiti, possessing a graffiti instrument and resisting arrest.
After he was arrested, Linhart told police he had a right to be outside Madonna's Upper West Side home.
"I can be here. This is police brutality. I have a right to do this. I am not doing anything wrong," he told the officers, according to court papers.
"I keep running into Madonna." he added. "I saw her in 1992 and I'd actually like to meet her in person. I won't stop until I actually meet Madonna.''
"I'm going to go right back there [Madonna's apartment] and do it again,'' he said, according to the documents.
Prosecutors said they recovered an ice pick in his car.
Linhart had been stalking Madonna's apartment for several days, witnesses said.
"Madonna, I need you," said a sign strapped to the top of Linhart's SUV. "Tell me yes or no," another sign said. "If it's yes, my dream will come true. If it's no, I will go. XXX."
The answer conveyed by Madonna's security people was a definite no. Police handcuffed Linhart Tuesday and hauled him to the 20th Precinct station house.
On Saturday, police busted him on charges of obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
