LOS ANGELES — A Fullerton man was charged today with stalking singer Rihanna when he allegedly broke into her Hollywood Hills home last week.
Eduardo Leon, 26, was charged with one felony count each of stalking, first-degree residential burglary and vandalism, and one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.
He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.
On May 9, Leon is accused of hopping a fence and entering a house owned by Rihanna, who was not home at the time.
According to TMZ, Leon disabled the alarm system and made himself at home, unpacking his bag and charging his cell phone.
He spent about 12 hours inside the home and was arrested the next day after being discovered by the singer’s assistant.
Leon reportedly told police he was there to have sex with the pop star.
If convicted as charged, Leon faces a possible maximum sentence of six years in state prison.
The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
