The suspect, Nickolas Brooks, 37, is thought to have driven from Ohio and was first found at the property on December 24. TMZ report that officers with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff let him off with a warning.
The report adds that he was found there again on December 26, arrested and later charged with one count of misdemeanour trespassing.

The shocking news comes just days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle opened up to Oprah Winfrey about a lack of security following their decision to step back as senior royals.
At one point the couple moved into Tyler Perry’s $18 million mansion and used his security team, having had their own protection cut off.
Meghan explained, “We needed a house, and he offered us security as well, so it gave us breathing room to try and figure out what we are going to do.”
Prince Harry added, “'The biggest concern was that while we were in Canada, in someone else' house, and then I got told at short notice that security was going to be removed.
“So suddenly it dawned on me, hang on a second, the borders could be closed, we're going to have our security removed, who knows how long lockdown is going to be.
“The world knows where we are. It's not safe. It's not secure.”
Prince Harry was shocked to learn his security would be revoked following their “change in status” as he was “born” into this position.
"I never thought I would have my security removed, because I was born in to this position," he told Oprah. "I inherited the risk. So that was a shock to me."
