Madonna stalker captured after fleeing hospital He was captured yesterday morning walking down a street in Long Beach, Los Angeles, before being returned to Metropolitan State hospital ten miles away, from where he had walked out unnoticed on February 3. While Madonna was away from her home later that year, Hoskins scaled the perimeter wall of her property, jumped into her pool and was eventually shot by a security guard. He was eventually released but arrested again in July 2011 and sent to Metropolitan State Hospital. Police searching for Hoskins since his escape from the mental hospital had described him as highly psychotic with violent tendencies when not taking medication. Last year another stalker, Grzegorz Matlok, admitted breaking into Madonna's London mansion and rifling through her bedding.
