Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air Home Targeted by Gate Crasher
A suspect has been identified and booked for felony vandalism after crashing through the front gate of actress Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air home, authorities have confirmed. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, was taken into custody after the incident, which occurred on May 5.
The incident has left investigators questioning whether Carwyle was intentionally targeting the "Friends" actress or if the crash was accidental. The 56-year-old star was home at the time of the incident, authorities said. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is expected to decide which charges to file after the LAPD submits its case for review.
According to The Independent‘s source, Carwyle’s booking was delayed after he was taken to the hospital complaining of back pain following the crash. Law enforcement sources noted that Carwyle has a minor criminal history, and the investigation is being handled by the LAPD’s specialist Threat Management Unit, which monitors harassment and stalking, including cases against public figures.
As reported by The Independent, Carwyle was hauled out of the car and detained by a private security guard after the crash. The suspect’s vehicle crashed through the front gate of Aniston’s Bel Air home, causing significant damage.
The Los Angeles Police Department told ABC News that Carwyle has not been formally charged in the case. Authorities were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident on Tuesday.
Aniston’s Bel Air home, a 10,000 square-foot midcentury modern manor, was purchased by the actress for $21 million in 2012. The home, which was built in 1965 by the celebrated architect A. Quincy Jones, sits on a 3.4-acre plot on top of a hill with sweeping ocean and city views.
