(Newser) – Kirsten Dunst won a restraining order against a stalker who has repeatedly trespassed on her property, Access Hollywood reports. Christopher Smith said he has a “spiritual connection” with the actress, and went to her house multiple times because, according to a police statement, “I’m in love with Kirsten.”

The actress’ assistant and housemate performed a citizen’s arrest on the man last month. “Given his apparent willingness to ignore security measures, requests to leave me alone, and police warnings, I believe that this behavior will only escalate,” Dunst said in her declaration.

I connected with Kirsten spiritually. I felt like I connected with her and she connected with me. Now I don’t know if she did. I guess you have to ask her if she connected. - Christopher Smith, to police

Mr. Smith is apparently mentally ill, and, although he has never met me, believes that he has some sort of spiritual connection with me. - Kirsten Dunst
