Travis Barker fan arrested at his home after 'ramming security gate' with car to meet him

A fan of Blink-182's Travis Barker has been arrested at his LA home after "ramming" a security gate with her car in and attempt to meet the drummer.

Police arrested the fan after she tried to crash through the security gate of the gated community.

Travis was not at home at the time as he and his fellow band members are set to headline Coachella this weekend in place of Frank Ocean.

It was reported that the woman was repeatedly turned away by security, after trying four times to get through before driving her car into the security gate.

The woman was intercepted by Travis' private security team and held until police arrived on the scene and arrested her for trespassing.

Police sources have said that the woman believed that she was talking with Travis on social media, according to TMZ.

The fan reportedly claims an online impersonator told her to come and visit the Los Angeles neighbourhood, which is why she turned up - but it wasn't the real Travis she had been speaking to.

Travis was rehearsing with Blink-182 at the time of the arrest.

The drummer was on his way back home at the time but was urged by security to stay where he was until the situation was under control.

This will be Blink-182's second weekend headlining Coachella.

This comes after Travis 's ex-wife made some veiled jibes about his new marriage to Kourtney Kardashian.

Shanna Moakler didn't hold back on her feelings about Kourtney and her ex-man's relationship, branding it "really f*cking weird".

Speaking on the Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel podcast, Shanna said: "I just think the whole thing is so f*cking weird.

"I really don’t have anything positive to say about it. It’s not because I’m bitter, and I’m definitely not jealous."

The 48-year-old model, who was married to Travis for four years, added: "I wish them nothing but the best.

"And as long as they’re good to my kids, that’s all I care about. But I think the whole thing is really weird."
