A man was detained by Los Angeles police after crashing his car through the gates of Jennifer Aniston’s Bel-Air mansion Monday afternoon, according to the police and property records. Police said the homeowner was at the house during the incident.
The Los Angeles Police Department received a call regarding a crash in the 900 block of Airole Way at 12:20 p.m., according to department spokesperson Officer Tony Im. When officers arrived, a security guard was pointing a gun at a suspect, who was lying on the ground.
The suspect, identified as Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, suffered minor injuries in the crash and was arrested on suspicion of felony vandalism, police said.
As of Tuesday morning, Carwyle was being held without bail at the Inmate Reception Center, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. So far, no charges have been filed against him.
Aniston is the owner of the 3.4-acre lot in Bel-Air, according to property records.
The 56-year-old “Morning Show” actor purchased the midcentury mansion for just under $21 million in 2012, according to reporting by Architectural Digest. The property, built in 1965, was designed by architect A. Quincy Jones and renovated by architect Frederick Fisher shortly before Aniston bought it.
Set on a promontory, the parcel has unobstructed ocean and city views, The Times reported in 2012. When Aniston bought it the grounds included a guesthouse, swimming pool and vineyards.
In 2015, Aniston married actor Justin Theroux in an intimate ceremony at the home. The couple lived in the property together before divorcing in 2018, according to Architectural Digest.
