Violent madge stalker escapes from hospital

Feb 11, 2012 |

A man convicted of stalking Madonna and who has “very violent tendencies” has escaped from a psychiatric hospital, the Los Angeles police department said on Thursday.

Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, who was convicted in 1996 of stalking Madonna — he once scaled a wall of the star’s Hollywood home and threatened to cut her throat from ear to ear — walked out of hospital on last Friday, said a spokesman. He was jailed for 10 years in 1996, and after his release was transferred to one hospital where he was determined to be a “mentally disturbed offender”. Last July, about a year after his release from that hospital, he was arrested again and sent to the Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk.
