He lay in wait for her, clutching duct tape and a sharp object – hoping to make his sick dream of having Jennifer Aniston at any cost come true.
Violent mental patient Jason Peyton’s delusional quest luckily came unstuck when police caught him prowling near the star’s Hollywood Hills home, thanks to a tip-off from the man’s parents.
Last week, a terrified Jen, 41, was granted a restraining order against the man who had spent eight days hunting her down after driving across the USA, and who’d chillingly scratched his declaration of love for the actress into the paintwork of his car.
Concerns were first raised when Peyton phoned his mother to say he was “on a mission to go to Jennifer Aniston”, and that she would “hear about it on the news”. His worried parents tipped off Los Angeles police, who found Peyton “laying in wait in a location he believes she frequents”.
On Monday August 9 a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner garanted Jennifer a three-year extension on her restraining order against Peyton
He ruled that Peyton must stay 100 yards away from Aniston’s home, places of work and vehicles, as well as employees, agents, managers and other reps connected to the A-lister Radar Online reported.
Documents filed in court describe Peyton, 24, who is currently on psychiatric hold, as “a diagnosed delusional and paranoid schizophrenic, with a history of violence and criminal harassment and stalking, including an apparent planned abduction of a former stalking victim”. His violent past, according to the legal documents, includes stabbing himself and attacking his mother with a golf club.
Peyton allegedly told investigators in the case, “Jennifer communicated to me mentally that she wants me to come and marry her and wants me to be the father of her children. We love each other.”
