Jennifer Aniston's alleged stalker appears in court shirtless and a judge orders a mental evaluation

Context:

A man named Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, accused of stalking Jennifer Aniston, appeared shirtless in court after crashing his car through her home's gate. The judge ordered a mental-health evaluation to assess his competency for facing felony stalking and vandalism charges, while also issuing a no-contact order with Aniston. Carwyle, who had been reportedly harassing Aniston for two years, did not speak during the hearing as his lawyer entered a not guilty plea. Aniston was at home during the incident, but no injuries were reported as a security guard intervened before police arrested Carwyle. If convicted, Carwyle could face up to three years in prison, with the added charge of the threat of great bodily harm.

  • For two years prior to the incident, Carwyle had been sending Aniston numerous voicemail, email, and social media messages, which led to the stalking allegations.
