‘Home Alone’ star Daniel Stern cited by police over alleged solicitation

Daniel Stern, best known for his role in Home Alone, was issued a citation by police in Ventura County, California, on December 10 over an alleged solicitation incident, according to reports.

Authorities say the incident took place at a hotel in Camarillo. Stern was not arrested or booked and was released at the scene after being issued a ticket.

No further details about the alleged incident have been made public, and Stern has not yet commented.

No arrest made

Law enforcement officials confirmed that Stern was cited rather than taken into custody, meaning he was not detained or processed at a police station.

The citation could require him to appear in court at a later date.

Recent health scare

The reported incident comes just months after Stern was taken to hospital following a medical emergency at a residence in Somis, California, in October.

Firefighters from the Ventura County Fire Department responded to the scene at the time. No further details about his condition were shared.
