Overview

  • Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, charged with felony stalking and vandalism, was found mentally incompetent to stand trial by a court-appointed psychiatrist.
  • Carwyle has requested a second psychiatric evaluation, which has been approved by Judge Maria Cavaluzzi, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for May 29.
  • Prosecutors allege Carwyle harassed Aniston with emails, voicemails, and social media messages from March 2023 until his May 5 arrest after crashing his car into her Bel-Air gate.
  • Aniston, who was home during the incident but did not interact with Carwyle, has accelerated her move to a more secure Montecito estate for safety and privacy.
  • If convicted, Carwyle faces up to three years in prison, but ongoing mental health evaluations could lead to treatment in a state hospital instead of trial.
