Stalker



A 27 year old man was detained Friday morning after repeatedly attempting to contact actress Milena (Mila) Kunis.

On May 4, 2012, around 11 a.m., LAPD Wilshire Area officers responded to a radio call of a disturbance at a local Los Angeles gym.  When the officers arrived, they discovered a man that fit the description of the call still at the scene.  

The man, identified as Stuart Dunn, was detained at the facility.  Police also discovered that he had been at the location for the third consecutive day seeking to make contact with Actress Mila Kunis.

Dunn had been arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in January 2012, after breaking in to Kunis’ unoccupied West Hollywood home in an attempt to meet her.   Based upon that arrest, Dunn is under the terms of a protective order restricting him from any attempts to contact Kunis.  Dunn was detained and subsequently hospitalized for evaluation.
