Dylan Sprouse Subdues Trespasser at Hollywood Home
Actor Dylan Sprouse confronted and restrained a trespasser outside his Hollywood Hills home early on April 17, holding the man at gunpoint before tackling him to the ground until Los Angeles police arrived.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight at the couple's residence on the 2400 block of Holly Drive. According to law enforcement sources, Sprouse's wife, model Barbara Palvin, called 911 around 12:30 a.m. to report a possible burglary attempt. Sprouse, 33, encountered the unidentified man on the property and subdued him physically after drawing his firearm. Officers responded to the scene by 12:37 a.m. and took the suspect into custody without further incident.

The suspect was arrested on outstanding warrants, and authorities have not released his identity or details on any potential motives.
