A man was arrested Friday night at LeBron James' residence in Brentwood, California, after Los Angeles police responded to a reported potential burglary, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to ESPN. The unnamed suspect was taken into custody at the scene and booked on stalking charges. Police were called to the home at 9:39 p.m. local time.
According to TMZ, the suspect claimed to be James' son when speaking with officers. Representatives for James declined to comment on the incident, per ESPN.
James, who spent the past eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers before signing with the Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason, was not at the property at the time. He and the 76ers were in Cleveland for an NBA Cup game against the Cavaliers, which Philadelphia lost 119-95. James is averaging 14.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists in eight appearances this season, his 24th in the NBA. The 76ers, who also added Jaylen Brown in the offseason, are 8-2 and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings.
