Zhao Han Cong, a 23-year-old Canadian, has been arrested by FBI for allegedly stalking and harassing the family of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Chinese born Han Cong, was harassing Lawrence's brother Blaine about a month ago with over 200 phone calls, emails and text messages, where he claimed to be Jennifer's 'husband for life', reported Ace Showbiz.
Han Cong troubled the Lawrence family as he insisted on getting in touch with the star in order to 'protect' her, threatening them with dire consequences otherwise.
The stalker also flew from Vancouver to Kentucky in April and approached the local police station when Blaine did not revert to his messages.
Law enforcement officers later took him into custody and made him undergo a psychiatric evaluation. He was handed to federal authorities on May 7.
