However, later, it was learned that Stern was charged on Jan 12 and his arraignment is scheduled for Jan 13.
"The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office submitted their ticket or citation to us and it is being reviewed by our prosecutors," Buttitta has earlier told PEOPLE.
The incident took place in Dec, the holiday season, when Home Alone is one of the most-streamed across the globe as people once again watch the Christmas classic and enjoy Kevin giving one of the toughest challenges to the thieves.
No statement has been released by the actor at this time.
What is Home Alone actor Daniel Stern doing in his life?
Daniel's been living life off the big screen, but he has stayed connected to the industry in other ways. He's also a sculptor and does farming; he enjoys life on a ranch in California.
He started acting through theatres and only wanted to be a professional theatre actor, but it was Home Alone co-star John Heard's performance in 'Between the Lines' that inspired him to work in films.
“When I got my first movie ‘Breaking Away’, the only thing I really knew about film acting was what I had learned from watching John do it,” he wrote in a tribute post for the late actor.
