Man accused of stalking Ivanka Trump arrested

[March 19, 2010]  RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A 27-year-old man accused of stalking Ivanka Trump has been arrested in Reno, Nev.

Police say Justin Massler was arrested Tuesday on a New York warrant alleging he used the Internet to stalk the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump.

Twenty-eight-year-old Ivanka Trump is the co-host of "Celebrity Apprentice" and a vice president at her father's real estate company.

Massler described himself in a blog posting as "a celebrity stalker who is obsessed with Ivanka Trump."

Massler had been living on the East Coast and visiting his mother in Reno. His mother, Randee Massler, says he has only written about Trump on the Internet and hasn't come close to her.

He remains held in the Washoe County Jail in Reno.
