Authorities say a security guard at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion used a stun gun on a trespasser who turned out to be an intoxicated neighbor who may have mistakenly entered the property.

Police say 41-year-old Jason Sullivan was shot with a Taser at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday at the home on Calle Vista Drive. He was then treated at a hospital and arrested on suspicion of trespassing.Police say neither Cruise nor his family were at the home when a guard saw a man climbing a fence to get onto the grounds.

A guard shocked the man and held him for police. It wasn't immediately known if Sullivan has an attorney.
