On Thursday, a mentally ill man who allegedly was obsessed with the Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn turned himself into Brooklyn police for violating two restraining orders.
According to Rolling Stone, 35-year-old Benjamin Campbell, had been charged with stalking Finn in August 2017 when he sent the singer hundreds of Instagram messages, up to 30 a day, for more than two months.
Finn, whom Campbell compared to Jesus Christ, obtained an order of protection against him.
According to the New York Daily News, he threatened to slit the singer?s throat and promised that an upcoming Hold Steady concert would be ?a funeral feast.?
Campbell pleaded guilty to aggravated harassment and disorderly conduct.
Campbell recently spray-painted the building where Finn lives and left a package with books and song lyrics outside it.
