A 48-year-old man is in custody for allegedly ramming his vehicle into the gate of actress Jennifer Aniston’s mansion in Bel Air.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle was arrested on Monday around 12:30 p.m. after a caller reported a burglary suspect who had driven through a gate in a neighborhood near Sunset Boulevard and Bellagio Road.
Several media outlets reported that the mansion belongs to the “Friends” and “The Morning Show” actress. The motive behind the incident remains unclear.
“You don’t ram into anyone’s gate randomly,” said Aviva Copaken, a local dog walker. “(Celebrities) are very well-known. They’re facing the public all of the time … they are definitely vulnerable to these attacks.”
Private security in the area detained the suspect until officers arrived. Carwyle was taken into custody without further incident.
He reportedly complained of pain after hitting the gate hard. Police confirmed that one person was home at the time but was not injured.
Carwyle was booked for felony vandalism and was being held without bail, according to court records.
KTLA’s attempts to reach a representative for Aniston have not yet been successful.
