NextImg:Drew Barrymore’s alleged stalker freed by LI judge, warned to stay away

A crazed fan busted for allegedly stalking Drew Barrymore at her $6 million Long Island farmhouse was set free Friday by a judge — who ordered him to stay away from the 48-year-old actress.

Chad Michael Busto, 43— who spooked the star at a Manhattan event earlier this week then allegedly showed up on her doorstep in Southampton Wednesday — was fitted with a GPS tag and released by Judge Barbara Wilson at a hearing, a Suffolk County Court source said.

Busto — who has a long criminal record — was charged with fourth-degree stalking, which is not a bail-eligible offense.

Dressed in a pink Hawaiian shirt and hoodie, Busto told the judge he was penniless and living in a shelter, according to the Daily Mail.

He also asked if he could travel out of state for a hearing in Texas on Sept. 3 though details of that case were not immediately clear.

Drew Barrymore’s accused stalker Chad Michael Busto has a lengthy rap sheet.

Busto was arrested Wednesday after going door-to-door in the actresses’ in Southampton neighborhood while trying to track her down, according to law enforcement sources.

The scare came two days after he rushed the stage at an event hosted by the “Charlie’s Angels” star at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan — prompting a bodyguard to stop him. The star was then whisked offstage by “Sex Lives of College Girls” star Reneé Rapp.

While storming the stage, Busto yelled: “Drew Barrymore!” according to TikTok footage of the bizarre moment.

“Oh my god, yes? Hi!” Barrymore responded.

“You know who I am. I need to see you at some point while you’re in New York,” Busto said.

Busto  has been arrested  in Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, and California  for disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and trespassing and other crimes, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press.

He allegedly also harbored an obsession with Amber Heard and was allegedly banned from an online fan forum, some reports claim.

He is due back in court in Southampton on Sept. 12.
