Cyrus 'stalker' sent for trial

A US man charged with trying to stalk teenage star Miley Cyrus told an investigator he planned on returning to her Georgia movie set and “finishing things”, her security guard said.

Municipal Court Judge Steven Scheer refused a request to lower Mark McLeod’s $55,200 (€39,000) bond and ruled there was sufficient evidence to send the case to Chatham County State Court.

Mr Scheer said he felt McLeod had no chance of getting to the 16-year-old 'Hannah Montana' star because she “can afford the best protection money can buy”. but he feared McLeod might be a threat to others.

Cyrus recently finished filming 'The Last Song on Tybee Island' in neighbouring Savannah.

Police said McLeod came to the island twice in June and again this month asking where he could find her.
