In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood star Ben Affleck was spotted going about his daily routine while a large military vehicle loomed outside his Brentwood, Los Angeles home. The 52-year-old actor drove past a joint light tactical military vehicle parked near his residence Thursday evening, unfazed by the unusual sight.

Photos obtained by Page Six captured the moment, revealing a man in an Army uniform standing alongside the large tan vehicle. Experts claim that this kind of military truck is designed for "protected, sustained, networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full range of military operations."

According to sources, the substantial vehicle is aligned with the National Guard's operations. An insider confirmed to Page Six that the military presence is unconnected to Affleck himself. "They are stationed outside every evacuation point, and his house is on the border of one of those points," the source explained. "It's nothing to do with Ben directly."

The heightened police presence in Affleck's neighborhood follows an FBI investigation launched earlier this week regarding "unauthorized drone activity." A spokesperson for the FBI admitted that law enforcement officers might be visible throughout the area, particularly around varying residences, as they monitor the situation.

Insiders revealed that FBI agents' interest in Affleck stemmed from an inquiry about potential CCTV footage capturing a private drone that had reportedly damaged a super scooper firefighting aircraft. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Office was also on-site, assisting with a grid search for unauthorized drones in the vicinity.

Despite these concerns, Affleck appears to be in no legal trouble, with no charges against him. However, the following days still saw increased police activity. Reports indicate that local law enforcement was summoned after neighbors expressed concerns regarding private security personnel blocking access to their homes. Sources suggested that Affleck was engaged in discussions with authorities regarding this issue.

In addition to the law enforcement drama, the past week has brought its own challenges for Affleck, who had recently evacuated his rental home due to raging wildfires devastating the area. For a brief period, he stayed with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12—at her nearby residence.

As of January 8, Affleck returned to his Brentwood home, where a source shared that while evacuation protocols were still in place, he felt grateful that his property remained safe.

With all this chaos surrounding him, Ben Affleck continues to navigate his life remarkably well, demonstrating resilience amidst the surrounding commotion and scrutiny from both the media and law enforcement.
