A man accused of trespassing on to the Kansas property of football star Travis Kelce — and seeking to serve a subpoena on his fiancée, Taylor Swift — entered a program that will most likely absolve him of the offense, court documents showed.

Justin Lee Fisher was arrested and booked on suspicion of criminal trespassing early Sept. 15 on Cherokee Court in Leawood, Kansas, which is about 16 miles southwest of Kelce's place of work, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, police records showed.

Hours earlier, Kelce and the Chiefs lost, 20-17, to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead.

Fisher was working as a process server who was hired to serve papers on Swift in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, stemming from their movie "It Ends With Us," defense lawyer Christopher Scott said in a statement to NBC News.

Swift is a known acquaintance of Lively's.

"I believe they wanted Ms. Swift’s deposition testimony," Scott said.

Fisher has agreed to pay $1,000 to enter a yearlong diversion program that, if completed satisfactorily, could end in the trespass charge's being dismissed.

Fisher, a private investigator, could not afford a criminal mark that jeopardize his license.

"I am seeking a diversion after being arrested in the process of doing my job as a process server," he wrote in Leawood Municipal Court documents. "I cannot have a conviction on my record record or I will lose my private investigator license."

Fisher wrote that no one stopped him from entering Kelce's property.

“I was attempting to serve a subpoena [redacted],” Fisher wrote.

“I went to the address through the gate as it opened and attempted to speak to the security guards in an attempt to serve the paperwork. I was never told to leave or even spoken to. Police arrived and arrested me."

Scott said he and Fisher appreciated that the city prosecutor Kelci Weber understood that Fisher didn't have any ill intent.

"It is a very amicable resolution to an unfortunate incident," Scott said.

Stealing this from another user-

A lot of these articles omit important details such as

⁠a judge had refused to let Baldoni’s team subpoena Swift 2 days before this guy was caught jumping Travis Kelce’s fence. So there was actually no subpoena for him to serve. ⁠this guy had lost his previous job as a cop bc of domestic violence ⁠he’s claiming to be performing his job at 2 am? Right. ⁠Swift’s legal team had made previous contact with Baldoni’s team, so if there WAS a legitimate subpoena, they knew which law officer had a POA to accept it. No need to stalk her.

Jumping a fence at 2 am to serve papers the judge told them they couldn’t serve? This was absolutely an intimidation tactic. This guy should be in jail.

According to the Kansas City Star,

> Justin Lee Fisher, who was charged with criminal trespassing in Leawood Municipal Court after Leawood police arrested him around 2:15 a.m. Sept. 15, later wrote in a court document that he had been attempting to serve a subpoena. Fisher was accused of jumping a fence onto private property, according to a police complaint.

If what Fisher (the PI serving the subpoena) says is true, why does he have to pay a fine when he was serving the subpoena?
