LOS ANGELES – A judge on Thursday ordered a man who said authorities crashed a car through the main gate of Jennifer Aniston’s home must pass through a mental health court to determine whether he is capable of facing felony stalking and vandalism charges.
Jimmy Wayne Carweil, 48, was wrapped in a blanket shirtless and wrapped in a blanket as he appeared behind a glass in the courtroom custody area in Los Angeles. Carwyle did not speak during the lawsuit. His lawyer entered into a plea of innocence on his behalf.
Prosecutors say the Mississippi man had been harassing Aniston for two years in a flood of voicemail, email and social media messages before rushing to her gates Monday.
Judge Keith L. Schwartz doubted whether Kerweil would understand him when prosecutors demanded that the accused staying in prison be ordered not to approach Aniston.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a problem at this point for him to leave Mr. Aniston,” said Carwyle’s aide to adjunct.
However, at the prosecutor’s point, Schwartz issued an order anyway.
