Man arrested after breaking into David Guetta’s home carrying a knife

A Polish man has been arrested after allegedly jumping over the main wall at David Guetta’s home in Ibiza carrying a knife.

Hours after he allegedly jumped over a boundary wall of the DJ’s property near San Jose, the suspect was apprehended in a nightclub in Ibiza Town. A worker told police that he saw the man throw a knife out the window – which has not yet been found – before fleeing the area.

According to local reports this is the second time the unnamed man has entered the French DJ’s house without permission after he tricked a maid into letting him in by posing as a friend on an earlier occasion.

The man will be questioned by a judge at a private hearing today, and could face a restraining order from David Guetta so that he would be disallowed from approaching him, his property and his family.

If you’ve ever thought about telling women what they should be doing, maybe you should think twice before doing that. Will Sparks gave out about women using Snapchat filters, and the internet put him in his place.

The Melbourne Bounce DJ and producer posted a status in which he condemned women for using Snapchat to take selfies instead of sharing more inspiring, exciting content.

“I strongly suggest doing something GOOD, MOTIVATING, INSPIRING or maybe even ENTERTAINING or EXCITING! You have this massive following yet all you use it for is to fulfil your significance and love for CERTAINTY aka ‘likes/views’. You’ll feel a lot better contributing to these people’s lives, helping them to grow”.
Even though the post was removed from his official Facebook page, the Internet quickly sent in a flurry of outraged responses. Below, you’ll find Will Sparks’ original post and several of the retorts.
