John Legend barely avoided having his Porsche stolen after authorities caught the thief before he was able to steal the car. The Los Angeles Police Department was called to a recording studio on Monday, November 21st after security guards spotted a man approaching Legend’s car. After contacting police, they approached the man who opened the door and got into the vehicle and was looking for a way to start the car.
When he was asked what he was doing he claimed that the vehicle was his then got out of the car and started walking. Legend was unaware of the incident at the time as he was inside the recording studio. After the LAPD arrived, they found the suspect who attempted to run off and caught him after a chase. The suspect was charged with attempted grand theft auto, a felony, and is being held on $85,000 bond.
In July the Grammy Award winning singer released his eight studio album, LEGEND, which featured Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhené Aiko, Saweetie, Jazmine Sullivan, Rapsody, JID, Muni Long and others.
