She was first arrested last year and charged with misdemeanor stalking and harassment, but continued with her obsession - showing up most recently during Hannity's remote broadcast in Philadelphia.

In earlier encounters, she tried to hand the ABC/Fox host a package, shouting on one occasion, "You take this from me!"

Burstein posed a risk of "physical injury or death" to Hannity, court documents quoted by the New York Post said.

The stalker phenomenon is an increasing problem for radio hosts, according to the trade publication Talkers Magazine.

"I used to reply to all my e-mails," WABC Radio and MSNBC host Monica Crowley told the magazine. "But, when I had my serious stalker problem, the New York City police told me to stop doing that." Crowley's stalker was caught and arrested last year.

Salem Radio network host Mike Gallagher had a similar experience, telling Talkers he's had a couple of "instances of bona fide stalkers ... including one who showed up at my apartment in New York."

"It's really the nature of our medium that we're really opinionated people and there's no question we can attract kooks," he explained.
