Actor Daniel Stern, best known for his role as the bumbling thief Marv in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, has been charged in California with one misdemeanor count of promoting prostitution. According to People magazine, the 68-year-old actor had a conflict with the police at a motel in Camarillo, California, where he was fined and subsequently released.
“As I understand it, he was fined and released on the spot…The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office forwarded their citation or fine to us and our prosecutors are now looking into it,” Ventura County District Attorney’s spokesman Joey Buttitta told People magazine.
Buttitta went on to say that Stern was charged on Monday, January 12th. TMZ magazine added that the fine was already issued on December 10 and the actor was not arrested.
In addition to the films Home Alone, Stern also appeared in two parts of the film City Cowboys. However, he left Hollywood years ago and currently lives with his wife Laura on a farm in Ventura County, where he raises cattle and grows citrus.
