The man accused of crashing a car into the gate outside Jennifer Aniston's home has been charged with felony stalking and vandalism, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said Wednesday.

Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, of Mississippi, is accused of "repeatedly harassing the victim ... sending her unwanted social media, voicemail, and email messages," from Thursday to Monday, the DA's office said in a news release.

The situation culminated Monday, when Carwyle crashed his car into Aniston's front gate, the DA's office alleged. Aniston's security guard detained Carwyle before police arrived and booked him into jail on suspicion of felony vandalism in connection with the crash.

The crash, which happened at about 12:20 p.m. in the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, caused "substantial damage," the release said.
