Busto was initially detained and released on Wednesday by Southampton Town Police after reportedly scouring the Long Island neighborhood for the actress, just two days after he also appeared at a 92nd Street Y event featuring Barrymore.
The arrest comes just a day after the Southampton PD detained Busto following a 911 call regarding a suspicious person in the Village of Sagaponack, Town of Southampton. Busto allegedly rode a bicycle into private driveways, where he told area residents he was looking for Barrymore’s residence on Wednesday. Officers detained him briefly the same day for questioning, and was released.
As part of a follow-up investigation, the detective division was notified of Busto’s conduct and, coupled with previous incidents, “led to facts that substantiated a charge for stalking,” according to a spokesperson from the department. Wanted fliers were distributed to neighboring agencies as part of the investigation, and on Thursday afternoon, East Hampton Town Police located Busto, taking him into custody before turning him over to Southampton Town Police for arrest processing.
