Man charged with trespassing at Miley Cyrus' home

 
 

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles prosecutors have charged a man with trespassing after his weekend arrest at the home of actress-singer Miley Cyrus.

A city attorney's spokesman says Jason Luis Rivera was charged on Monday with two counts of trespassing and one count of resisting arrest.

Rivera was arrested early on Saturday after police say he attempted to force his way into Cyrus' home. Police said at the time that Rivera was carrying a pair of scissors and claimed to be a friend of Cyrus. Police say he repeatedly threw himself against an outside wall as if he was trying to break into Cyrus' home.

Rivera pleaded not guilty on Monday and was ordered held on US$100,000 (S$124,000) bail. He is scheduled to return to court on Sept 17.
