A man claiming to be LeBron James’ son was arrested Friday night at the NBA star’s Brentwood home, sources tell NBC4 Investigates.
Police were called to the superstar athlete’s home at about 9 p.m. for a reported burglary, the Los Angeles Police Department said. Security personnel told police they spotted the man on surveillance cameras and called law enforcement.
There, officers encountered a man who claimed to be LeBron’s son, sources told NBC4 Investigates. He was then arrested on suspicion of felony stalking.
The man’s identity and approximate age were not released.
At the time of the incident, James, who joined the Philadelphia 76ers, was in Cleveland playing a game against the Cavaliers.
James was asked during a locker room interview Sunday about the stalking investigation.
“My family is safe,” James said. “That’s the most important thing.
“We’re still looking into everything.”
James, 41, signed a contract with Philadelphia in free agency after eight seasons and one NBA title with the Lakers.
