A famous celebrity stalker, Emily Diane Leatherman, 32, was arrested after turning up unannounced at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills home.

The woman claimed that Tom Cruise's staff had given her permission to meet him.

Leatherman was arrested at Cruise's home on suspicion of receiving stolen property and violating a restraining order. It is not known if Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes were at home when the incident happened.

 

Another actor, John Cusack, won a three-year restraining order against Leatherman last July, accusing her of showing an "unusual interest" in him.

Cusack said Leatherman visited his home unannounced, and he claimed Leatherman threw love letters, rocks and screwdrivers into his garden.

The Beverly Hills police department has refused to confirm if the person arrested on Thursday was the same woman who targeted Cusack.
