Chet Hanks may not have starred in any movies with his celebrity parent Tom Hanks, but he's ended up in the real-life spotlight because of the drama that follows him. The 33-year-old son of long-time married couple Hanks and Rita Wilson has been known for making headlines for controversial acts with the law or on social media. This time, Chet Hanks made the news for reportedly punching a burglar he caught breaking into his home…who then broke a cop’s leg while being apprehended.
According to TMZ, Hanks reportedly punched a 42-year-old suspect trying to break into his house at 3 a.m. When the L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies tried to handcuff the suspect, he reportedly wouldn’t stop fighting. Once the handcuffs were on the suspect, and they tried leading him to the car, the burglar allegedly fell backward on one of the deputies, breaking the cop's leg in the process. In the aftermath of the apprehension, the deputy and the suspect were both taken to the hospital and the suspect was booked for burglary. Hanks, on the other hand, ended up fine without a scratch on him.
