Halle Berry was allegedly the victim of a man who attempted to take ownership of her house without her knowledge.
According to a press release from the Los Angeles Police Department, Ronald Eugene Griffin was arrested on Thursday, June 20. Authorities charged him with one count of forging a fraudulent recorded document and one count of petty theft.
Police received a call about a trespasser in March. Berry’s employees, who allegedly intercepted Griffin, claimed that he tried to get in the home by “compromising the locks.” The man allegedly told the 52-year-oldJohn Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellumstar’s staff that he was the new owner of the residence.
The Oscar winner then told authorities that she did not know Griffin and did not give authorization for the title of the house to be changed. He allegedly altered the title without Berry realizing it and tried to force his way into the property.
TMZreported that Griffin first attempted to procure the residence in January. He reportedly did not know Berry was the owner either.
