Love-struck Madonna fan convicted
A former firefighter with a crush on Madonna has been convicted of resisting arrest outside her former New York City apartment building as he spray-painted poster boards with love notes.
Robert Linhart could face up to a year in jail.
His lawyer Lawrence LaBrew told the New York Post Linhart would appeal.
Linhart was arrested in September 2010 after police said he parked his SUV outside the singer’s Manhattan apartment, laid out a tarpaulin and wrote out messages such as “Madonna, I need you”.
Jurors told the Post they felt it was fine for Linhart to express himself to the Material Girl.
But they said they believed police evidence that he resisted arrest by flailing his arms.
