Capt. Kelly Muniz, the chief spokeswoman with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told the Los Angeles Times that the unidentified suspect was being processed in the afternoon, adding that it would be a few hours until she could release additional information regarding the arrest.
Muniz confirmed that Bass had been home and that nothing had been stolen.
Bass’s home was broken into in September 2022, and the then-mayoral candidate revealed that two guns were stolen from the residence.
Breitbart News reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for a statement but did not hear back by the time of publication.
