LeBron James responds after man arrested for stalking at 76ers star's house in Los Angeles: 'My family is safe'
A man was arrested Friday for wandering onto LeBron James' property.
Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James, currently on a road trip with his team, expressed concern over the arrest of an individual at his Los Angeles residence on Friday. In an interview with reporters on Sunday, James emphasized the safety of his family as his top priority, without providing further details about the incident. Reports emerged on Friday that a man was arrested for felony stalking following his appearance at James' home in Brentwood, California.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was initially dispatched to investigate a potential burglary report at the property. However, officers discovered a man on the premises, leading to his arrest for stalking, as reported by ESPN and ABCNews. The arrest occurred without any confrontation, and the individual involved was unarmed and did not enter the house.
Felony stalking in California can lead to up to three years in state prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, according to Kann California Law Group. James, who was away on a road trip with the 76ers at the time, returned to his hometown of Cleveland on Friday evening, where his team faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game. The following day, James and the 76ers played against the Chicago Bulls in Chicago.
Despite the recent incident, James appeared unfazed by the arrest, contributing significantly to his team's victory with 22 points in the 127-122 win.
