A man has been charged with allegedly threatening to kill Miley Cyrus on the set of her latest movie “The Last Song,” on the same day another obsessed fan had felony charges of attempted stalking dropped.
US soldier Sean Christian Mathis, 22, is accused of showing up at the Georgia location where Cyrus’ body double was filming a scene for the Disney movie in June. He is reported to have mistaken the stand-in for Cyrus herself and shouting, “Hey, it’s Miley Cyrus. I’m going to f**king kill you.”
According to a police report obtained by TMZ.com, authorities arrested Mathis for making “terroristic (sic) threats” and disorderly conduct, and, after discovering he was a member of the army, called in the military police to take over the case. Officials announced on Wednesday they were pressing ahead with the case against Mathis, although details about court dates have yet to be revealed.
On Wednesday, 53-year-old Mark McLeod had counts of attempted stalking, obstruction of a police officer and disturbing the peace dismissed following his two arrests near “The Last Song” set over the summer.
McLeod, who was accused of making “inappropriate comments” to young Cyrus fans, escaped the charges after a grand jury ruled there was insufficient evidence to indict him.
