Joey Buttitta, a spokesperson for the Ventura County District Attorney, when talking about Daniel Stern, said in a statement to People:

"From what I understand, he was cited at the location and released."

Despite getting famous from the Home Alone movies, Daniel Stern didn't attend the anniversary held last month. Explaining his reasons, he told People:

"I don't leave my farm. It's no offense to the movie. I'm just ... a phone call, Zoom call, I'm in. but... I'm a bit of a homebody."

Daniel is usually seen sharing his sculpting and farming life with people on social media. The actor also thanked social media for giving him this opportunity in an interview with People, stating that the platform gives everyone a way to express themselves to their audience.

Sharing his story and why he decided to pursue the farm life, he told People in a statement made two years ago:

"I made enough money that I didn't have to work. I made enough money and I'm kind of frugal ... I bought the house in cash. I bought the cars in cash. I bought everything straight up because as an artist, I never knew if [I was] going to make any more bread. And I said to my wife, 'How much money do I need to sock in the bank so that we can live off the interest and so that I don't have to work?' She said, 'We hit it.' That was like, 'Okay, Dan, now you're going to put your money where your mouth is' ... 'What am I going to do with it? Am I going to keep chasing another part or that?"

Daniel Stern added that he loves spending time in nature and following his own passion on the farm.
