Paige Bueckers is safe: Man arrested after threatening to 'sacrifice' anyone near her

UConn Huskies basketball star Paige Bueckers recently faced a troubling situation involving a fan who allegedly became a stalker and has since been arrested. The incident drew significant attention when a concerned individual on X highlighted disturbing comments made by a man on TikTok, who reportedly expressed intentions to harm anyone close to Bueckers.

The alarming nature of the posts quickly went viral, sparking widespread concern among fans for Bueckers' safety. Following the outpouring of worry on social media, it was reported that the man had been apprehended by authorities.

While the details remain somewhat unclear, other social media posts suggest that the fan, identified only as Cole, had taken his obsession to extreme levels.

Reports indicate that he had even gone so far as to create wedding invitations and a ring, imagining a fictional marriage with Bueckers. His erratic behavior and threats toward other fans added to the growing anxiety surrounding the situation.
