Teenager charged with breaking into Tyler Perry’s home; Jermaine Dupri’s home in foreclosure?

A teenager has been arrested and charged with breaking and entering into Tyler Perry’s home. According to the AJC, Chloe Ware, 18, was caught within moments after breaking into the actor and playwright’s mansion on Paces Ferry in Atlanta.

Perry’s bodyguard caught Ware around 4 a.m. last Thursday, but two others escaped, police said.

Ware was booked and released on her own recognizance. The career criminal has been arrested in the past for auto theft and shoplifting, among other charges.

Perry recently offered to rebuild the burned out home of a 85-year-old Atlanta woman, who narrowly escaped the fire with her 4-year-old great granddaughter.

Speaking of mansions, word has it that music producer-turned-DJ Jermaine Dupri’s Paces Ferry home and studio are headed toward foreclosure. Friends say Dupri, who recently laid off his entire staff at So So Def Records, is hemorrhaging money due to his insatiable appetite for strippers.
