Police Tase Man Suspected Of Burglarizing Rihanna's Home

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A man suspected of breaking into Rihanna's Hollywood Hills home and crashing overnight, was tased and arrested by police Thursday. The singer was not home during the break-in.

According to the Los Angeles police Officer Rosario Herrera, officers were called to the scene on the 7800 block of Hillside Avenue shortly before 10 a.m. on a report of a possible burglar in the home.

They found a 26-year-old man in the home. Arriving officers came upon a man "who appeared to have stayed the night," according to TMZ, which also reported that the suspect was zapped with a Taser while being detained, though it's unclear why.

The suspect's name was not immediately released.

According to TMZ.com, authorities went to the home after Rihanna's alarm company notified authorities that the security system appeared to have been tampered with.
