After his escape, the Los Angeles police said in a statement that Hoskins "is highly psychotic when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies."

Hoskins served a decade behind bars for a 1996 conviction after repeatedly threatening the Vogue singer that he’d harm her if she did not marry him, even trying to scale the fence of her property on one occasion.

He had recently targeted Berry and an insider told us that the police warned her that Hoskins had mentioned her as well, reportedly saying he wanted “to cut her throat.”
