He might be an obsessed fan, but he's also an idiot.

It's one thing to be a wrestling fan, but to kidnap the object of your fandom? That is little more than a one way ticket to loserville.

Police in Lutz, Florida arrested a South Carolina man earlier today for breaking into the home of WWE superstar Sonya Deville (real name: Daria Berenato), with intentions of kidnapping her.

Philip Thomas, 24, is a fan of Deville, and has supported her on Twitter. So why would this goof, otherwise employed by Applebee's, take his fandom too far? When arrested, Thomas was found with zip ties, duct tape, etc., tools needed to subdue his victim. Only, in this writer's opinion, I don't think he'd fare too well on an even playing field. Like, he broke in between 1 & 2 am (ET) this morning. So what did he hope to gain?

Deville is not only a wrestler, but has a MMA background. I'm guessing Thomas wanted her to teach him a few moves, on his terms, not hers. The only moves he's going to learn going forward are going to be avoiding bending over for the soap at the local lockup. Not only that, but he won't have a job to go back to. Count on that.

    There's a lot of sick people in this world. I'm curious as to what lead up to do such a desperate act?

    It's been said that Thomas had been planning this since the beginning of the year. Left several messages on his target's Instagram that she ignored. It's since been revealed that her houseguest was her former tag team partner and Summerslam opponent, Mandy Rose. They've been friends for five years or better in real life.
