A man who drove his home into the gates of Jennifer Aniston’s Californian mansion has been charged with vandalism and stalking, it has been confirmed
Jennifer Aniston’s alleged stalker has been charged with vandalism after crashing his car into the gates of her home. Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, of New Albany, Mississippi, is accused of repeatedly sending the actress voicemails, emails and social media messages since March 2023. He is also facing accusations of aggravating circumstances of the threat of great bodily harm.
Prosecutors said that on Monday, he drove his Chrysler PT Cruiser into the gates of her home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. A security guard stopped the man, 48, on Jennifer’s driveway before he was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department.
It was confirmed on Thursday that he has been charged with felony stalking and vandalism. However, a judge ordered that he must go through a mental health court to determine whether he is competent to face the charges.
He appeared shirtless and wrapped in a blanket when he appeared behind glass at a courtroom in Los Angeles. He didn’t speak during the hearing, and his attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Judge Keith L. Schwartz doubted whether Carwyle would understand him when a prosecutor requested that the defendant, who will remain in jail, be ordered not to get near Aniston.
Carwyle’s lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Toral Malik, said: “I don’t believe him staying away from Ms. Aniston will be an issue at this time.” But at a prosecutor’s insistence, Schwartz issued the order anyway. “You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions,” the judge said.
Authorities say Aniston was home when Carwyle crashed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gate of her home in the wealthy neighbourhood, causing major damage, prosecutors said. A security guard stopped him in her driveway before police arrived and arrested him.
However, there were no reports of anybody being injured following the incident. Jennifer’s attorney, who attended the hearing on her behalf, as well as other representatives of the Friends actress, haven’t responded to the incident.
Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm. If convicted, he could be sentenced up to three years in prison. District Attorney, Nathan Hochman commented: “Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions.
“My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others.” It’s believed that the police department had been “reviewing social media posts” made by the defendant. It’s claimed that a “Facebook page with several bizarre and rambling posts” had been found under his name.
The Facebook page appearing under his name makes several references to the Friends star, with one post disturbingly referring to Aniston as his “bride.” Five posts also contain her full name. In one of the disturbing posts, the account with the same name as the intruder says they are looking forward to “finally get to see” Aniston.
The post reads: “Christ Jimmy Wayne Carwyle & Emanuel Jennifer Joanna Aniston Carwyle, HIS LOVE AND INNERMOST BEING WAS US, TWO BEING ONE LIFE, ONE BEING, ONE FLESH, THROUGHOUT LIFE FIXING TO FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU!” However, it has not been confirmed by police if this profile is the same as the man charged following the incident, or another Jimmy Wayne Carwyle.
According to Architectural Digest, Aniston bought the midcentury mansion on a 3.4-acre lot for about $21 million in 2012.
