Man charged with stalking cable TV host

NEW YORK, July 22 (UPI) -- A Florida man has been arrested for stalking an MSNBC cable show host, New York police say.

Kevin Miller, 55, of Delray Beach first approached Tamron Hall, 40, host of "NewsNation with Tamron Hall," outside her Manhattan building Monday evening, police sources told The New York Post.

"I see you are being incognito. Do you live around here? Do you like New York better than Chicago?" Miller allegedly asked before following her for a block. He lived in Chicago while Hall worked at WFLD-TV.

Building employees later told Hall Miller had been lurking outside for three hours until superintendent Robert Andrzejewski ran him off.

Miller returned Wednesday afternoon, police said, and lingered for hours until Andrzejewski saw him and notified Hall. She called 911, and police arrested Miller.

At arraignment Thursday, Judge Diana Boyar ordered Miller held in lieu of $1,000 bail and told him to stay away from Hall.

A prosecutor said Miller denied stalking Hall and claimed he was in New York with his girlfriend looking for a job.

In Chicago in 2003 and 2004, Hall was stalked online, by phone and in person by Tonny Horne, who was sent to prison for three years.
