Ephraim Hunter, 29, who remains in custody, was charged with one count of felony first-degree residential burglary with person present and one felony count of vandalism of $400 or more in damage or destruction of property.
Criminal charges have been filed against the man arrested after he allegedly broke into Getty House, official home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, over the weekend. Ephraim Hunter, 29, was taken into custody early Sunday morning after he broke a glass door at the rear of the home to force entry at around 6:40 a.m. He has remained jailed on suspicion of burglary since then and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
On Tuesday, LAPD Interim Chief Dominic Choi said that the break in happened during a scheduled shift change amongst members of the mayor's security detail, so no one was actually present when it took place. The shift was set to begin at 7 a.m., so security team members who had previously been on hand were heading home.
