A Mississippi man is facing two felony charges after allegedly crashing through the gate of actress Jennifer Aniston’s Bel-Air mansion.
Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, allegedly drove his car through Aniston’s gate on Tuesday after harassing the actress for nearly two years. According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, he allegedly left unwanted voicemails, social media messages, and emails for the Friends star between March 1, 2023 and May 5, 2025.
Aniston was at home when Carwyle crashed through the gate, and her private security detained him until police arrived.
Prosecutors accused him of stalking and vandalism. If convicted as charged, he will face three years in state prison.
“Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent behavior, endangering the safety of victims and our communities,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated.
Carwyle’s arraignment is set for May 8 at the Airport Courthouse. The LA County District Attorney’s Office has stated that they will seek a $150,000 bail.
“My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize others, ensuring they are held accountable,” Hochman informed the audience. “I want to thank law enforcement and our Stalking and Threat Assessment Team, particularly Deputy District Attorney Sam Hulefeld, for their outstanding work in this case,”
