Love and Hip-Hop: Hollywood Star Leon ‘Roccstar’ Youngblood Jr. took matters into his own hands when he stopped a burglar on the roof of his house and even held him at gunpoint.
The 33-year-old rap music producer single-handedly handled a crime in his home early Monday morning, according to police sources for TMZ just weeks after Love & Hip-Hop: New York star Brittney Taylor was arrested.
Police sources said the platinum-selling hitmaker told them he was awakened at 5 a.m. by an alarm telling him someone was on the roof of his garage at his home in Chatsworth, California.
Roccstar told police he went outside with a firearm in hand and ordered the intruder off his roof.
However, when they both got to the ground floor, a physical altercation broke out between the two.
