The man who allegedly broke into rapper/actor LL Cool J's Los Angeles home on Wednesday morning could face 38 years to life in prison in the case.
Jonathan Kirby, 56, was charged on Thursday with residential burglary with a person present. Because of his previous record and the third strike law, Kirby could be sent to prison for nearly four decades or more.
In addition to the potentially seriously prison time, Kirby is also nursing some significant wounds inflicted by the burly "NCIS Los Angeles" star, who took matters into his own hands when he heard someone rustling around in his house at 2 a.m. Cool J (born James Todd Smith), told police he was upstairs in his house sleeping when he heard a noise in the kitchen. When the intruder approached him, the two men got entangled and a brawl ensued, during which J broken Kirby's nose and as well as his jaw and some ribs.
The veteran MC was not injured in the fight, and he held the intruder until police arrived on the scene. "He is committed to keeping his family safe and is cooperating with authorities," a rep for the rapper said after the incident.
