Jonathan Tucker helps neighbors during a burglary

Jonathan Tucker played the role of the Good Samaritan when a security problem occurred in his Los Angeles neighborhood over the weekend.

The “Kingdom” star came to the aid of his neighbors on Sunday after a burglary occurred in the Hancock Park area, a spokesperson for Tucker confirmed to USA TODAY in an email on Monday. TMZ was the first to report the news.

Tucker called the police after the actor noticed a “suspicious man walking around, banging on doors and talking to himself,” according to TMZ. When Tucker subsequently noticed his neighbor’s front door was open, he reportedly went over to check on the house.

When the “Snowfall” actor arrived home, he discovered a woman and two children in distress, according to TMZ, whom he escorted out of the house while police arrived at the scene. The man who broke into the home was reportedly taken by police to a 5150 detention facility. A 5150 detention facility refers to the involuntary psychiatric commitment of an adult experiencing a mental health crisis, according to the Orange County Health Department.
