Speaker 6: Good morning everybody. I'm your girl, Brett Tad Tad and
Speaker 6: this is the hotspot. But we bring you music, movies
Speaker 6: and more. So let's get on off into it well, y'all.
Speaker 6: Quiet Hollywood neighborhood. Hollywood Hills neighborhood became the scene of
Speaker 6: a major police response this past Saturday night after Los
Speaker 6: Angeles police answered the burglary call at a home owned
Speaker 6: by actress Nia long Now. According to reports, officers showed
Speaker 6: up after getting in for about a possible break in,
Speaker 6: and when they got there, the man was found. He
Speaker 6: had a dog with him and he was near the
Speaker 6: front entrance of her property. Now, within minutes, multiple patrol
Speaker 6: cars lined the street and the neighbors watched it all unfold. No,
Speaker 6: a man and his dog were taken into custody for
Speaker 6: trespassing after police found no evidence of an actual burglary.
Speaker 6: Investigators found no forced entry and believed the man had
Speaker 6: been suffering from mental health issues. His identity was with Hell,
Speaker 6: and further charges.
Speaker 5: Remained under review.
Speaker 1: Nia A.
Speaker 6: Lung was not in her home at the time of
Speaker 6: the incident, but her oldest son was reportedly there when
Speaker 6: the incident happened. So I guess it seems like some
Speaker 6: man was just wandering on her property, I guess, And
Speaker 6: there was reports of a burglary, but he didn't, you know,
Speaker 6: there was no force entry or anything. But I don't
Speaker 6: know what's gonna happen with this. But if it wasn't
Speaker 6: no force entry then and it probably wasn't the Burgergary,
Speaker 6: they probably was just nervous, maybe seeing them on the
Speaker 6: cameras or something and reported it all all the neighbors
Speaker 6: reported it.
Speaker 5: So anyway, moving on, y'all.
Speaker 6: It's always good to see family come back together, and
Speaker 6: that's exactly what happened with Brandy and ray j. After
Speaker 6: months and months of rumors that the siblings had grown apart.
Speaker 6: The two reunited over the weekend in Atlanta, and ray
Speaker 6: J shared the special moment on social media. He posted
Speaker 6: a video with Brandy and wrote in at a well,
Speaker 6: my best friend since I was born, Love you for
Speaker 6: life and even in my afterlife.
