In the conference call, he pleaded not guilty to all charges related to the singer, including three misdemeanor counts of aggravated trespassing: refusing to leave private property, vandalism and assault.
This arrest is the fourth Alexander has faced in the past year.

If he ends up being convicted, Alexander could face up to five years in prison.
The detainee – who married the interpreter of
Baby One More Time
in 2004 during a trip to Las Vegas (USA) but signed the divorce 55 hours later – managed to access the Britney Spears house and record the preparations for his link with Sam Asghari.
Alexander managed to avoid the security perimeter of the mansion, located in southern California, and broadcast live through his Instagram some moments before the ceremony.
“Britney Spears invited me here.
She is my first woman, my only woman.
I am her first husband.
I'm here to stop the wedding,” he yelled at security officers as the broadcast continued, just before he was detained.
