A man trespassed onto Michael B. Jordan’s property Wednesday, prompting the actor’s security team to contact law enforcement, according to TMZ.
The “Black Panther” actor was reportedly at his residence during the incident but departed after the Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene.
Sources within law enforcement informed TMZ that security personnel quickly alerted the LAPD and removed the individual from the premises.

During questioning by police, the intruder reportedly claimed to be a member of Jordan’s security detail.
After collecting the trespasser’s information, law enforcement released him. Initially, Jordan’s team opted not to pursue charges but later reversed their decision after the individual had left. Following this change of heart, authorities documented the incident as a trespassing case.
When contacted for comment about the situation, neither Jordan’s representatives nor the LAPD provided an immediate response.
The incident doesn’t appear to have significantly affected Jordan, who has maintained his social media presence by promoting his upcoming film “Sinners” throughout the week.
This isn’t the actor’s first encounter with law enforcement. Just over a year ago, the “Creed III” star was involved in a vehicular incident when his Ferrari collided with a stationary Kia in Hollywood.

At the time, the LAPD stated there were no signs of intoxication, though they later conducted a more thorough investigation after footage emerged showing the Ferrari competing with another vehicle. The incident ultimately resulted in no charges.
A source later revealed to the Daily Mail that Jordan felt embarrassed about the crash.
“It was an actual accident,” the source noted. “Michael was annoyed that he ruined his car, but that can get fixed.”
“He was, and is, embarrassed about it all as he accidentally had his foot on the gas and didn’t brake in time.”
