Yesterday (February 10), it was reported that Robert Dewey Hoskins had fled from a mental health facility in Norwalk, California. The Los Angeles Police Department said that he had "very violent tendencies" and warned members of the public not to approach him, adding: "Hoskins is highly psychotic when not taking his medication."

However, Rolling Stone says that Hoskins is now back in police custody after he was found in Long Beach, California.

Hoskins, 54, received a 10-year jail sentence in 1996 after he climbed over a wall around the Queen of Pop's home and threatened to slit her throat. He was later released from prison but was arrested again last July, when he was taken to the mental health facility in Norwalk, California.

During Hoskins' trial, Madonna claimed that she had suffered nightmares about him, and claimed that he told her bodyguard that she was his wife and that "if he couldn't have me, he was going to slice my throat from ear to ear".NME
