Trespasser Nabbed in Jolie & Bell’s Gated L.A. Enclave

So here’s the low-key freaky moment: someone wandered into the star-packed, high-walled community where Angelina Jolie, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have their digs—and got busted. Word from law enforcement sources via TMZ is that on a sunny Sunday in Los Feliz, a dude slipped through an entrance gate and strolled onto the private street behind Bell and Shepard’s house. Neither of them was home, but security cameras and eagle-eyed neighbors weren’t about to ignore a random stranger meandering through their cul-de-sac. The scene escalated once the local patrol rolled up and spotted the guy trying to make a run for it. According to the Citizen public safety app video circulating online, officers swiftly took him down without a single Hollywood-style foot chase.

This isn’t Jolie’s first brush with unwelcome visitors—her ex, Brad Pitt, dealt with a similar scare overseas in Tokyo not too long ago—but at least this intruder kept it under the “no actual home break-in” category. Sources confirm he never made it past the street; no doors were jimmied or windows busted, so the interior of Bell or Jolie’s homes stayed untouched. Still, it highlights how even gated celebrity neighborhoods aren’t exactly fortresses when someone’s determined to slip past security measures. Word on the street is the suspect has a minor trespassing rap sheet, which might explain why he thought he could saunter through an upscale enclave without drawing attention.

Understandably, neighbors hit the panic button, dialed 911 and peppered security personnel with alerts. Officers arrived, and the brief video clip shows them handcuffing the man as he squats near a white patrol vehicle, head bowed. The footage is grainy but unmistakable—celebrity-adjacent events never stay off social feeds for long. Now that he’s in custody, law enforcement will likely run fingerprints and check for outstanding warrants. If he’s convicted, local statutes could land him with aggravated trespassing charges, which carry heavier fines and possible jail time.

This incident also serves as a reminder that fame doesn’t shield you from random security risks. Between Brad’s Tokyo drama and other recent home-invaders targeting A-listers, it’s clear that high walls and guarded gates are only part of the solution. Some neighbors might consider upping their camera game or hiring off-duty officers for extra peace of mind. It’s all pretty standard stuff for folks with Oscar-worthy resumes.

That’s the scoop—courtesy of TMZ and that viral Citizen clip—on how a routine day turned into a trespassing bust at one of Hollywood’s most exclusive hideaways. If you’re wondering whether Jolie or Bell plan to beef up their defenses, stay tuned. This neighborhood soap opera is far from over. Anyway, that’s the deets. Do what you will with them.
