A California judge has ordered an Iraq war veteran with a history of mental woes to steer clear of Tom Cruise after he showed up three times at the “Top Gun” star’s Beverly Hills home.
Edward Van Tassel, 28, was carrying a book written by the late Bruce Lee and a handwritten letter imploring Cruise to help in the fight for veterans’ rights, said his attorney, Robert Landheer.
“I reach out to you as a fan and maybe someday as a friend,” the letter read. “The soldiers NEED your ASSISTANCE.”
Van Tassel made national news last month when, while wearing a mask, he shut down Highway 101 by waving a handgun and an American flag on a freeway overpass in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was arrested three hours later.
After pleading not guilty in the incident, he was sent to a veterans’ facility rather than held on bail. He slipped out three times and made his way to Cruise’s home, the actor’s private investigator said.
