Jonathan Kirby, 56, suffered a broken nose, jaw and ribs when he encountered the muscular rapper-actor inside his Sherman Oaks, California, home, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.

They are asking that bail for Kirby be set at $1.1 million. Kirby was previously convicted of voluntary manslaughter in Dallas, Texas, in 1988. He also has auto theft, first degree burglary and a petty theft conviction in Los Angeles on his record, Gibbons said. Arraignment for the suspect is not yet set, because he is still hospitalized for treatment of injuries inflicted by LL Cool J when he "physically detained" him, she said. The family was sleeping when their home security alarm sounded at 1 a.m., sending LL Cool J into action, according to a Los Angeles Police statement. After catching the man, he held him until police arrived, police said. LL Cool J, whose real name is James Todd Smith, plays Special Agent and former Navy SEAL Sam Hanna on "NCIS: Los Angeles," a CBS crime series. ----------- Sorry about the spacing. I don't know why it's weird.
I read that the intruder only had minor bruising. He probably requested medical help to postpone detention. I dont think LL beat him up, like they're trying to imply.
LL Cool J's workout books are surprisingly good reads. The dude takes his fitness very seriously and it obviously helped him here.

I always thought LL was a douche for posing for the camera half nude all the time. We get it. You're buff. No need to plaster your body on the screen all the time.
