County man arrested for twice ramming Playboy Mansion gates

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — One man appears determined to crash the party at the Playboy Mansion.

Los Angeles police say a Ventura County man rammed his vehicle into the gates at Hugh Hefner's legendary home twice in the past week.

Detectives believe both incidents involve an "ongoing dispute," Lt. John Romero told the Los Angeles Times, without offering details.

Jason Lee, a police spokesman, said no one was injured in either incident.

The unnamed suspect was arrested and released after the first crash last Thursday night, Lee said. He slammed his car into the gates again Tuesday, but fled before police arrived. The gates sustained some damage.

Police did not know if Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine, or his three girlfriends were at home at the time.

Officials at Playboy's corporate offices in Los Angeles and Chicago could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.

You mean the (soon to open) state-of-the-art Spanish Hills Inmate Rehabilitation and Detention-Medical Center Golf Course, Resort and Spa? Or "S.H.I.R.D.M.C.G.C.R.S." for short?

Did he try to ram the gates in a phallic shaped car?
Sorry, just trying to make it more symbolic.

WOW, He probably wanted to get some money from his ex which is now a bunny.

My bet is that he resides "over the grade" and I bet he's not Latino. A Latino would have been pulled over by police before he even got to the mansion for "looking suspicious". (sorry...had to put it out there)

I've been to the Playboy Mansion four times over the last six years. I'm a feature writer for a boxing website and there are professional fight cards. There was one in June on ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights.

There are two different gates there. There's one in the front and one from a side street. Curious to know why he did it or which gate he rammed.

The one in the back from the side street has some curves and there is a sign that says "Bunny X-ing."

Pretty weird guy!

On the upside, he's likely a white guy from Camarillo or T.O. Take some heat off La Raza. :)

I'm gonna bet on an escapee from the methadone clinic on the Avenue. Eee heers voices.
