Jennifer Aniston’s ‘stalker’ shoots chilling glare during bizarre shirtless court appearance after ‘crashing car’ into star’s $21million mansion

Jennifer Aniston’s alleged stalker made a bizarre shirtless appearance in court days after he was arrested for crashing into the front gates of the star’s $21m mansion while she was inside.

Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, shot cameras chilling glares and smiles as he appeared behind glass in a custody area of a Los Angeles courtroom, while wrapped in an anti-suicide blanket, to face felony stalking and vandalism charges on Thursday. 

Aniston was home when Carwyle crashed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gate of her home in the wealthy Bel Air neighborhood. A security guard stopped him in her driveway and held him at gunpoint before police arrived and arrested him.

There were no reports of anyone being injured.

Carwyle is also accused of sending Aniston ‘unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages’ starting in March 2023, with the last message sent on the same day of the crash, according to the district attorney’s office. 

Mississippi man Carwyle did not enter a plea, or speak at all during the arraignment hearing, but intently stared at the courtroom and placed his hands on the glass during the hearing.

It was determined he must go through mental-health court to determine whether he is competent to face the charges against him.

Judge Keith L. Schwartz doubted whether Carwyle would understand him when a prosecutor requested that the defendant, who will remain in jail, be ordered not to get near Aniston.

Carwyle’s lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Toral Malik, said: ‘I don´t believe him staying away from Ms. Aniston will be an issue at this time.

But at a prosecutors’ insistence, Schwartz issued the order anyway.

‘You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions’ the judge said.

He was also ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from her home. 

Judge Schwartz set bail at $150K and called for the next hearing to take place at the Mental Health Court in Hollywood on May 22.

DailyMail.com exclusively spoke with a friend of Carwyle who said: ‘My hopes were that someone, somewhere would see this and get him the help that he needs. Jimmy is a good man, but his drug use caused his mental instability.

‘I pray that this thing that Jimmy Carwyle has done, gets enough attention, that he gets the help that he needs. Please be in prayer for Jimmy, that the Lord work all this out for his good.’

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a new release: ‘Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions, threatening the safety of victims and our communities.

‘My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize others, ensuring they are held accountable.

An Aniston attorney who attended Thursday’s hearing declined comment, and other representatives of the Friends star have not responded to comment requests.

Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm. If convicted he could get up to three years in prison.

An insider source previously told DailyMail.com that Aniston was ‘furious’ with the Los Angeles Police Department for releasing her address. The source added that Aniston ‘expected more protection from police.’ 

Social media posts allegedly from Carwyle have also been unearthed following the crash. 

It hasn’t been confirmed if the account is associated with the suspect or an individual with the same name, and the posts appear to have been taken down.

Several posts referred to Aniston as his ‘bride,’ including one posted in October, allegedly referring to the actress as ‘Jennifer Aniston Carwyle.’ 

Another post allegedly said that he and Aniston would be ‘mended together’ before incoherently drawing comparisons to Adam and Eve. 

The District Attorney’s Office accused Carwyle of ‘repeatedly harassing the victim,’  and added that the harassment ‘culminated when he allegedly crashed his vehicle through her front gate, causing substantial damage, and stopped in her driveway.’

Aniston’s security rushed to the scene and reportedly ‘held him at gunpoint’ until they waited for the LAPD to arrive. 

Officer Jeff Lee previously said that police responded to a call about a ‘burglary suspect.’

Aniston was home at the time of the crash but never came in contact with the suspect, according to police. 

Carwyle, 48, was charged with felony stalking and vandalism 

Unearthed social media posts described a disturbing desire to marry Aniston from an account with the suspect’s name 

Police are investigating social media posts and messages that potentially indicate stalking 

Carwyle had complained about back pain after the crash and was taken to the hospital. The case was then handed over to the LAPD’s Threat Management Unit. 

Sources previously told local ABC affiliate, KABC, that Carwyle had a ‘minor’ criminal history. 

In addition to the stalking and vandalism charges, Carwyle also faces a charge for aggravating the threat of great bodily harm. 

‘Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions, threatening the safety of victims and our communities,’ District Attorney Hochman said.  

‘My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorize others, ensuring they are held accountable.’

Hochman added that Deputy District Attorney Sam Hulefeld of LADA’s Stalking and Threat Assessment Team is prosecuting the case. 

If convicted, Carwyle could face three years in a state prison. 

The office said evidence of stalking culminated in the crash into Aniston’s Bel-Air home, which was previously the site of her wedding to her ex-husband, Justin Theroux 

Aniston has owned her Bel-Air property since 2011 and used the mansion as a venue for her wedding to her ex-husband, actor Justin Theroux. 

The actress gave fans a glimpse into her home during a photoshoot in 2018 with Architectural Digest. 

The sprawling mansion features four bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a wine cellar, a pool, and a guesthouse. 

Aniston’s representatives previously declined requests to comment on the impending investigation.
