Under the law under which Valdovinos was arrested, this was not the first time he had committed a similar offense.
TMZ reported that he never made it to the property and that it was something he told security that led them to put him under civilian arrest.
It was not clear at the time whether Harry and Meghan had come. The couple were in New York City last night to attend the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards, where Meghan received an award.
