Gerald Hurt, 52, was charged with misdemeanor stalking, menacing and trespassing for allegedly trying multiple times to get into the West Village home Cooper shares with Benjamin Maisani .
A hulking Manhattan man accused of stalking CNN star Anderson Cooper — at one point trying to kick down a door to grab the high-profile host — was freed on supervised release Friday after an arraignment n Manhattan Criminal Court.
His obsession continued despite an order of protection against him, authorities said. Charges included criminal contempt for violating that order. On Aug. 21, Hurt showed up at Cooper’s digs at 10 am, where a woman opened the door to the unhinged visitor claiming “”I have package for Anderson Cooper.,” court papers claim.
Then at 3 p.m. on Sept. 21, Hurt returned to find Cooper, who asked him to leave multiple times. But Hurt allegedly pushed his full weight against the front door and reach his hands around the door to try to grab Cooper, the court papers claim.
