Authorities on Tuesday released the name of the suspect who crashed a vehicle into the front gate of actress Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air home.
The suspect was identified as Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Inmate Information Center, which also said he was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Monday by officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Los Angeles station.
The crash occurred around 12:30 p.m., and private security guards at the home helped detain the man at the scene, authorities said.
Police said Aniston was home at the time. The driver, however, never made it past the front gate of the estate.
It was unclear what motivated the man to drive into the gate.
