Police have arrested a man who drove through the front gate of Jennifer Aniston’s home, reports say.

The incident happened on May 5 at the “Friends” actress’ home in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KABC Los Angeles and CNN.

The latter reported Aniston was home when police responded to a call at the property, and LAPD said a private security guard pulled the man out of the car and held him until police arrived, per the outlets.

USA TODAY has reached out to Aniston’s reps for comment.

Police took the man, whom CNN reported is a white male in his 70s, into custody. He was set to be booked for felony vandalism for the damage caused, the officials told KABC.

Officials are investigating the cause, and it is unclear whether the incident was accidental or intentional. Police told KABC that the man has a minor criminal history, but it is still unknown whether he was specifically targeting Aniston.

The incident comes months after Aniston was the victim of an alleged swatting prank. KTLA and The Independent reported in September that someone called the LAPD out to the “The Morning Show” star’s address. Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to police in an attempt to get a SWAT team or public safety officials to respond to a location.

Law enforcement officials told TMZ at the time that the person claimed they were worried about a friend and requested a welfare check, never mentioning Aniston’s name. Police said they spoke with Aniston, who said everything was OK, the outlet reported.
