Travis Barker fan arrested after 'ramming security gate' with car to meet star
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.

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.
