Man Arrested at Ariana Grande's L.A. Home After Flashing Knife at Security

A man was arrested last weekend after showing up outside Ariana Grande’s Hollywood Hills home and demanding to see the pop star.

TMZ reports the incident took place around 2 a.m. this past Friday. Aaron Brown, 23, faces a felony brandishing charge after he flashed a knife at Ariana’s security guards. The Los Angeles Police Department was called to the scene and arrested Brown upon arrival.

It’s unclear if Grande was at home at the time of Brown’s arrest, though sources told TMZ that the 28-year-old singer has filed a temporary restraining order against Brown, which was granted by a judge. A hearing has also been scheduled.

It isn’t the first time a trespasser has been arrested outside Grande’s home.

In March 2020, Ariana and her mother were granted a five-year restraining order against another stalker who snuck past her security team and left a note at her front door. The man, reportedly in his 20s, was booked for misdemeanor trespassing and felony battery.
