Home Alone star Daniel Stern busted by cops ‘for soliciting prostitute’ in California
HOME Alone star Daniel Stern has been cited for allegedly soliciting a prostitute at a hotel.
The actor who is best known for playing Sticky Bandit (formerly Wet Bandit) Marv in the iconic Christmas films alongside Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci was allegedly busted by cops in Camarillo, California last month.
Stern, 68, was ticketed on December 10, a law enforcement source from Ventura County told TMZ.
He was not arrested but soliciting a prostitute in California is a misdemeanour.
Those who are convicted of such an offense in the Golden State can get up to six months behind bars or a $1,000 fine.
Neither Stern nor his representatives have issued comment about the citation.
The father-of-three has been married to his wife Laure Mattos since 1980 and has ditched Hollywood to focus on his art.
He lives on a ranch in Ventura where he sculpts and raises cattle.
On Christmas Eve he told People that he has been asked by the owners of the Home Alone house to create a sculpture of one of his iconic scenes.
“I got a call from the people who own the Home Alone house,” he said.
“And I’m a sculptor [and] they asked if if I would do a sculpture for the house. So I’m creating a sculpture of me and the spider.”
Back in October it was revealed by TMZ that he had been hospitalized after suffering an unknown medical emergency, but was quickly released and said to be “doing well”.
