Los Angeles police arrested a woman outside YouTuber Jake Webber’s home overnight on Tuesday after she allegedly walked up to his front door and tried to open it, according to law enforcement sources. Officers handcuffed her at the scene and took her into custody on suspicion of trespassing.
Officers were called to Webber’s residence around midnight and found the woman at the door, TMZ reports. The outlet says Webber was the one who called police, though it was not clear whether he came outside or spoke directly with officers once they arrived.
Who is Jake Webber?
Webber first broke through on the short-form video app Vine before shifting his focus to YouTube, where his audience has grown substantially. HypeAuditor’s creator profile puts his main channel at roughly 4.3 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of total views, placing him among the more prominent creators on the platform.
How California law treats trespass
California’s trespass law covers a broad range of behavior, from entering buildings without permission to refusing to leave private property after being told to go. The rules and potential penalties, which can span from infractions to misdemeanors and include possible fines or county jail time depending on the situation, are laid out in Penal Code §602. The full legal text is available through the California Legislature.
Not the first disturbance at his house
This is not the only recent incident at Webber’s home. About two weeks earlier, an uninvited woman allegedly caused a disturbance at the property, according to TMZ. It was not clear whether that earlier disturbance and Tuesday night’s arrest involved the same person.
The back-to-back episodes highlight a familiar safety issue for high-profile online creators, whose public visibility can turn their home addresses into unwanted destinations for strangers. TMZ’s initial reporting is based on unnamed law enforcement sources and does not include an official statement from the police department or from Webber’s representatives. This story will be updated if authorities or Webber’s team release a formal comment or if additional details about the arrest emerge.
