A man has been charged with felony stalking and vandalism after smashing a vehicle into Jennifer Aniston’s $21 million Los Angeles mansion and destroying her gates on Monday, prosecutors have confirmed. The driver, Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, of New Albany, Mississippi, was detained by private security guards at the star’s home in Bel Air. She was in the house at the time of the incident, police said. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the suspect faces the additional aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm. If convicted on all counts, he could face three years in prison. Carwyle, who’s set to be arraigned on Thursday, had his bail set at $150,000. He is accused of bombarding the Friends star with emails and social media messages since 2023. He is also accused of sending her unwanted voicemails. “My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize others, ensuring they are held accountable,” Hochman said, according to the Associated Press.
