James Rainford, a man who has previously been arrested for stalking Paris Hilton, has been taken into custody once again outside her two-story Malibu beach house.
According to deputies on the scene, Rainford, 36, was seen looking inside the windows of the heiress' Malibu pad. Cops were called and he was cuffed and taken into custody on Monday at around 4:30pm.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department released a statement saying there was "a suspicious person standing on the beach." We're told authorities were able to determine there's a "valid order prohibiting him from being within 200 yards of Miss Hilton or her residence was in effect."
Rainford pleaded no contest to battery charges in April after assaulting Hilton's ex boyfriend Cy Waits outside an LA courthouse. He served only 24 days of his 227 day sentence.
Earlier this year, Rainford was charged with trespassing at Hilton's Hollywood Hills home and pleaded no contest. At that time, he was ordered to stay 200 yards away from Hilton's home and was given three years probation.
Rainford is currently being held on $20,000 bail.
