Authorities say a security guard at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion used a stun gun on a trespasser who turned out to be an intoxicated neighbor who may have mistakenly entered the property.

Police say 41-year-old Jason Sullivan was shot with a Taser at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday at the home on Calle Vista Drive. He was then treated at a hospital and arrested on suspicion of trespassing.

Police say neither Cruise nor his family were at the home when a guard saw a man climbing a fence to get onto the grounds. A guard shocked the man and held him for police.

It wasn't immediately known whether Sullivan has an attorney.

According to CBS' KCAL-TV in Los Angeles, Cruise bought the $30 million 7-bedroom, 9-bath home in 2012. The house, which sits on 1.18 acres of property, was built in 1937.

Cruise, 50, recently filed a $50 million lawsuit against Life and Style magazine over articles claiming the actor has abandoned his 6-year-old daughter Suri.

Set aside the whole Tom Cruise thing... and think about this... Some guy... had too much to drink and completely wasted, crawls over a fence thinking he is scaling his own perimeter. Zzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaapppp! !!! WOAH! Next thing he knows, he's got some rent a cop holding him prisoner, and then a hospital and then a visit to the local percent, and then, the whole world is saying "What have you got against Tom Cruise?" And while he is trying to figure out whether or not to answer that question seriously he has to be wonder... Maybe I should just stop drinking...
