Overview
- Sprouse says he heard a noise at the front door around 12:30 a.m. while he and Barbara Palvin were at home and went to investigate.
- He says he ran upstairs, grabbed a legally owned 1911 Kimber pistol in about 20 seconds, and told Palvin to stay out of sight while she called police.
- Sprouse says he held the man at gunpoint outside, never tackled him, and escorted him off the property after finding the visitor confused and carrying a cigarette and a longboard.
- Police arrested the suspect on outstanding warrants, no injuries were reported, and the couple declined to press charges according to Sprouse's account.
- Sprouse used the podcast to correct earlier dramatic reports and to reveal the couple are expecting a daughter, a framing that centers family safety in his retelling.
