A man crashed through the wooden gate outside Beyoncé and Jay-Z's East Hampton home on Wednesday afternoon, according to police, causing significant damage to the structure. The incident has drawn attention given the couple's high profile and the security concerns that come with owning a prominent property in the exclusive Hamptons area.

Police identified the man as 63-year-old Keith Jonathan Webster of the Bronx. He has been charged with felony criminal mischief in the second degree, along with a misdemeanour count of criminal trespass in the third degree, after the property's front gate sustained significant damage.
