Jamie Otis is now in police custody and waiting to be formally booked at the Men’s Central jail in downtown L.A. The suspect in the early Wednesday morning destruction of Donald Trump’s Walk of Fame star was arrested by the LAPD sometime around 7 AM today, sources confirm. Otis had planned to hold a press conference at 9:30 AM this morning on Hollywood Blvd at the location of the already being repaired Trump star. Accompanied by his lawyer, Otis was then going to head over to the Hollywood Police station and turned himself in, he told Deadline last night. With damages of over $400, the felony vandalism charge could see Otis in jail for up to 3-years and paying out fines of over $10,000 if found guilty. Presidential candidate’s nearly decade old star was around $2,500. The Chamber, who administer the Walk of Fame for the city, quickly had a repair crew out in front of the Dolby Theatre yesterday working on getting the smashed star back in shape after Otis’ 5:45 AM attack on it. That process of repair will take about a week, Chamber boss Leron Gubler told Deadline on Wednesday.
