Man charged with trespassing at Taylor Swift’s beach property wants singer to testify for him

WAKEFIELD, R.I. – A man charged with trespassing at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion wants the singer to testify on his behalf.

The Westerly Sun (http://bit.ly/1Jt3mV1 ) reports 24-year-old Nicholas Field was back in court Friday.

The Westerly resident was arrested April 14 and charged with wilful trespassing at Swift’s beachfront mansion. Field says he wants Swift to be served with a subpoena to appear in court. He says Swift didn’t say to press charges.

Police say surveillance video shows Field approaching the gate at Swift’s property to deliver a letter and poem. They say Field was manipulating the gate when he was arrested.

Field says he wants to see the video, which was not available Friday.

It’s unclear whether Field is being represented by an attorney.

The case was continued to July 10.
