VAN NUYS, CA — A man who allegedly trespassed at Kendall Jenner's home in Van Nuys and stripped naked for a swim in her pool over the weekend was arrested, authorities said Tuesday.

Los Angeles police arrested 27-year-old Shaquan King, 27, on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing. The incident occurred at about 2 a.m. Sunday. It's the latest in a series of trespassing and stalking cases plaguing the young celebrity. Jenner has moved repeatedly following bouts with intruders and stalkers, including one man who pounded on her car windows as she sat inside calling for help.

According to TMZ.com, the suspect "made his way onto Kendall's L.A. property ... and began to knock on windows while yelling her name."

"We're told Kendall was home at the time, in a safe location -- and her security was alerted and tracking the man's movements -- but the guy stripped off his clothes in an attempt to get in her pool," TMZ reported.

"Our sources say he was detained by the security guards until cops showed up and arrested him for misdemeanor trespassing. We're told he never made any contact with Kendall, and after spending six hours behind bars ... he was released due to COVID protocols at the jail."

Security has been a longstanding struggle for the model and Reality TV star.

Jenner's attorneys went to court on Monday to obtain a temporary restraining order against a different man, TMZ reported. That man was in a mental health facility last week and told police he planned to shoot Kendall and then himself, TMZ reported.

In 2016, Jenner testified against a man accused of stalking her and confronting her in the driveway of her former Hollywood Hills home.

"I was crying, I was screaming, I was freaking out," Jenner testified at the time. "I didn't know what his intentions were. I was freaking out. I was frightened for sure."
