LOS ANGELES — A man was arrested on stalking charges Friday night at LeBron James’ home in Brentwood after police were called to investigate a possible burglary, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to ESPN, according to CBS Sports.
Officers were called to the home at 9:39 p.m. Friday. An unnamed suspect was taken into custody at the scene and booked on stalking charges, CBS Sports reported.
The suspect claimed to be James’ son when speaking with police, TMZ reported. James’ representatives declined to comment, according to ESPN.
James was not home at the time. He and the Philadelphia 76ers were in Cleveland, where they lost 119-95 to the Cavaliers, one of his former teams, in an NBA Cup game.
After eight seasons with the Lakers, James signed with the 76ers in the offseason and has been splitting his time between Philadelphia and New York City, CBS Sports said.
In his 24th NBA season, James is averaging 14.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists in eight games. The 76ers, who also added Jaylen Brown, were 8-2 through their first 10 games and in first place in the Eastern Conference.
Police have not released the suspect’s name. The suspect has not been convicted of any crime.
