Former USC football star Reggie Bush is one of many former athletes who lives like a king. However, on Tuesday night, the 2005 Heisman winner's Los Angeles mansion almost got invaded.
Bush stopped the invasion himself, via TMZ Sports.
“Reggie Bush's L.A.-area mansion was nearly invaded Tuesday night … but TMZ Sports has learned the former Heisman Trophy winner's quick actions helped stop the crime before it really began,” the outlet reported. “It all went down at around 11 PM in Encino … when our sources say at least one person smashed out one of the windows at Bush's multi-million-dollar home. We're told the ex-USC Trojans running back was at the pad when the attempted break-in happened … and when he immediately yelled — the suspect(s) fled the area.”
Nobody was injured during the incident, although police discovered broken glass near the house's back entrance.
Reggie Bush and his mansion came out relatively unscathed
Bush was lucky he snuffed out the perpetrators, as he had much to lose in his $5.65 million home, via Celeb Realty.
Bush's 8,750 square-foot home features six en-suite bedrooms, a three-car garage, a swimming pool, and a wine room. It's safe to say that the 39-year-old has plenty of valuables to protect.
Bush, who bought the house in 2019, probably benefitted from its pre-installed alarm system and surveillance cameras.
Bush was prolific with the Trojans, becoming a two-time consensus All-American, AP and Sporting News College Football Player of the Year in 2005, and a BCS National Champion in 2004. The dynamic tailback then enjoyed a successful NFL career after getting drafted second overall to the New Orleans Saints in 2006.
Bush won Super Bowl XLIV with the club and later got inducted into its Hall of Fame. The California native's No. 5 jersey was retired by USC, and he received NFL PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2006.
