WESTERLY, R.I. - Police in Rhode Island say they arrested three people outside Taylor Swift's beachfront home after they accosted security guards at the singer's property.

Authorities say the three Connecticut residents were charged with misdemeanour breach of peace after they threw beer bottles and shouted expletives at the guards Sunday outside Swift's house in Rhode Island. Swift wasn't at the home at the time.

The Westerly Sun reports that police arrested 29-year-old Michael Horrigan, his 28-year-old roommate Tristan Kading and 26-year-old Emily Kading. They were released on promises to appear in court.

It's not clear if they have lawyers. Phone listings for the three couldn't be found Wednesday.

Police have made two trespassing arrests on Swift's property in the past year.
