The pop star was about to marry Sam Asghari at his mansion in Thousand Oaks when officers from the Ventura County sheriff were called to the residence in response to an intrusion report, according to police.
According to Sgt. Cyrus Zadeh with the county sheriff’s office. Alexander faced security when he entered the singer’s property and there was an altercation between him and two security guards, Zadeh told CNN. The two security guards were mistreated in the physical fight.
Zadeh said Alexander was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor felony, two counts of assault and one felony count of vandalism. Authorities also learned that Alexander was wanted for a felony robbery order in Napa County. CNN is working to determine if Alexander has legal representation.
Spears married Alexander, a childhood friend, for about 55 hours in 2004 before the marriage was annulled.
“He was arrested, handcuffed and is pleased to report, arrested. Fortunately, Britney is safe,” Spears lawyer Mathew S. Rosengart told CNN in a statement. “I am free from this security breach and I am working closely with law enforcement to ensure that it is prosecuted aggressively to the fullest extent of the law.”
Rosengart did not respond when asked if Spears and Asghari’s wedding took place after the incident.
Spears has been engaged to Asghari, a personal trainer turned actor, since last September. The couple met in 2016 when Asghari starred with Spears in the video for their single “Slumber Party”.
The pop star icon has previously married Alexander and dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two children.
