Tempted to swing by Tom Cruise's pad without an invitation? Beware, as a taser is more likely to be rolled out than a welcome mat.
Jason Sullivan, 41, was zapped Sunday night after a security guard saw him attempting to scale a fence onto the Beverly Hills property, police told L.A. Now. Cruise was not home at the time.
But Sullivan wasn't an overzealous fan or mentally unstable individual. Rather, he's a neighbor whom police said was hammered and got confused about which home was his. (Echoes of Nicolas Cage, perhaps, or Rip Torn, no?)
In this case, Sullivan had been partying with friends, TMZ said, and was dropped off near the house he's been staying at after hitching a ride home with someone who was in shape to drive. But "close" apparently wasn't close enough, so confusion and fence-climbing allegedly ensued. And then a trip to the hospital after he was tased.
But it looks as if the dual hangover — from the booze and from the taser — is going to be punishment enough. Cruise reportedly isn't pursuing a trespassing charge.
