Police swarm Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home over bomb threat
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a few unexpected guests over for Thanksgiving.
Police responded to a potential bomb threat at the Terminator actor’s Los Angeles-area home on Thursday, according to TMZ.
Los Angeles Police Department sources told the outlet that cops got a call about a bomb that was allegedly placed in Schwarzenegger’s mailbox. However, law enforcement did not find any explosive devices on the property when they arrived, per the report.
The Former Governor of California, 77, was reportedly getting a workout in while the search was unfolding.
Schwarzenegger’s security told officers it would be virtually impossible for someone to have planted a bomb as the actor-turned-politician has 24/7 security and monitored video surveillance.
The Los Angeles Police Department is reportedly treating the situation as a swatting and no arrests have been made.
Reps for the actor did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Ahead of the scare, Schwarzenegger spent the days leading up to the holiday giving back to the community.
On Tuesday, the famed actor teamed up with his True Lies co-star Tom Arnold to hand out turkeys at the Hollenbeck Youth Center in Los Angeles.
The volunteers reportedly handed out over 1000 frozen birds as well as tortillas and other produce to local families, who began lining up around the block as early as 2am.
Schwarzenegger has been taking part in the annual event for over four decades.
“I had such a great time,” he told the Boyle Heights Beat. “It made me feel so good, that every year since then, I’ve been doing this.”
“To me, it’s a great, great pleasure to donate the turkeys again … because I know this whole season is about sharing,” he continued. “I love America and America greeted me, as an immigrant, with open arms.”
The Austria native reflected on his first Thanksgiving in the States, explaining that he had never felt such a strong sense of community.
“When I came to America in 1968, I didn’t even know what Thanksgiving was … people from the gym just came to my empty apartment and they brought sheets, silverware, dishes and food and a radio,” he recalled.
“The generosity of the American people was so extraordinary. I’ll always remember those things.”
