Fabulous Marvel Comics writer and editor Stan Lee is safe from a horrible incident that took place outside his residence on Thursday night, assisting several police units and a police helicopter to rush to the scene where two speculated gunmen were detained.
According to The Daily Mail, police immediately rushed to Stan Lee’s residence after 911 was dialed at 7:30 pm Thursday night. It is reported that an armed stranger was threatening Lee. Later they were caught by the LAPD, one of whom reportedly defied Lee demanding money. “Officers were called to a property on the 9100 block of Oriole Way at 7.30pm after reports of an assault. It was claimed that a suspect had a gun and was threatening. Officers detained two individuals that matched the description and an investigation is ongoing. Three units are still on scene including officers and detectives,” a spokesperson for the LAPD said. The LAPD reports that one or both of the men arrested had been at Lee’s residence just one day prior.
An eyewitness to the incident claimed that the two men had a dispute with Lee outside his residence. The witness claimed that Lee did not know either man who was demanding that Lee pay them money he owed them. According to the witness, Lee was with his lawyer, business partner and nurse during the incident. They went inside the house when the men took out their guns, and the police were called immediately.
The eyewitness claimed about 20 cops showed up while helicopters surveilled the area from above. The witness claimed that the two men threw away their guns when police arrived, however, police later recovered the guns. The suspects were handcuffed by police, though it is not yet known whether any arrests have been made as the incident remains under inquiry.
This conflict is another in a long line of incidents involving Stan Lee over the past few months. Last month, it was reported that Lee is suing his former company POW! Entertainment for $1 billion on the grounds that his partners either tricked him into contracting over exclusive rights to his name and likeness or completely forged his signature. In April, amidst claims that he was subject to elder abuse, Lee posted a fiery video in which he threatened to “sue the ass off” those who claimed he’s been the target of elder abuse from his daughter. Police were called to his home in April after an intruder hopped a fence and tried to force his way inside.
In February, the 95-year old Lee was rushed to hospital following a major health scare, though he was released the following day. He’s also been the subject of sexual misbehavior claims from home care nurses who had previously been employed at his home and a Chicago masseuse.
