Stalker Alex Barnes-Ross Handcuffed and “Bundled Away” by London Police as Pattern of Misconduct Escalates

As an erratic Alex Barnes-Ross spirals further out of control, the anti-Scientologist has now escalated from stalking and harassing women to being handcuffed in broad daylight and “bundled away” by law enforcement.

On Thursday, May 15, Metropolitan Police detained, handcuffed and searched Alex Barnes-Ross after he live streamed his own intent to make trouble on the streets of London, taunting: “Let’s see how long it takes security to come down on us.”

Police told media: “Officers searched a man at the scene following concerns around conspiracy to commit criminal damage.”

“I think it’s fantastic that it has made headlines,” Barnes-Ross said, while plastering the internet with photos and video of his own detention.

A transcript reveals a clearly unhinged Barnes-Ross bizarrely offering sweetened nuts to security and police, even as he was being handcuffed and detained. “Security didn’t want Sam’s nuts!” Barnes-Ross could be heard muttering in a video recording of the incident. “Security didn’t want your nuts, Sam! I offered them!”

Media summed up the “chaotic” spectacle with headlines like: “Anti-Scientology protesters are cuffed and bundled away by cops.”

“I think it’s fantastic that it has made headlines,” Barnes-Ross said, while plastering the internet with photos and video of his own detention.

Barnes-Ross offering nuts — “Security didn’t want your nuts, Sam! I offered them!” an unhinged Barnes-Ross could be heard muttering.

Just one day before Barnes-Ross was handcuffed and detained by police, STAND published an exposé detailing the criminal circle that surrounds and defines him. Specifically, Barnes-Ross counts among his closest associates:

An advocate for child sexual exploitation;
A felon convicted on multiple counts of terrorist threats, stalking and attempted extortion;
A sex tourist who teaches men how to exploit underage trafficking victims in Thailand;
A serial stalker who—according to an online source—violated a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend and had nine criminal cases opened against him, along with a harassment conviction;
A convicted hate agitator who brandished a swastika placard at a Pride event, assaulted a female Scientologist, and openly called for the assassination of members of the religion;
A violent embezzler and abuser of women who flaunts his public drunkenness—complete with pools of vomit—on social media; and
A pervert who harasses women under the handle “@teabitch,” with tweets like, “I still have c—m up my nose.”

Having now joined his friends in the criminal spotlight he spent years orbiting, Barnes-Ross apparently asked that media omit his full name when reporting on his detention—whether to dodge scrutiny or avoid further tarnishing the reputation of his mother, who shares his last name and recently erased all mentions of her stalking son from her website.

The narcissist, incapable of distinguishing between honour and infamy, nevertheless relished the attention: “Any news coverage is good,” Barnes-Ross said. “The more eyes on this story the better.”

As with so many of Barnes-Ross’ stunts, it wasn’t a “demonstration.” It was a cry for help, broadcast live—handcuffs, humiliation and all.
