Sean Avery's Hollywood Hills home has a police problem - again

TMZ reported that LAPD officers first responded around 10 a.m. following a call about criminal threats directed at workers building a deck.

Officers returned hours later after more gunfire, with a bullet striking a tire on a contractor's vehicle.

One person was taken into custody. No injuries were reported, and neither Avery nor his ex-wife Hilary Rhoda were home at the time.

Avery posted a lengthy Instagram video from a film set where he was working, describing what he called a standoff.

He accused his neighbor of firing the rounds and then sending two "red light district" women to the property in an apparent attempt to frame him while police were on scene.

The claims are unverified by law enforcement and come exclusively from Avery's own account of events.

This property has been generating police responses for well over a decade. In 2011, while still an active NHL player with the New York Rangers, Avery was arrested at the same Hollywood Hills home for shoving an LAPD officer who responded to a noise complaint.

He posted $20,000 bail.

In 2022, video surfaced of Avery threatening to snap windshield wipers off cars during a heated parking dispute with neighbors in the same area.

A separate incident caught him smashing a car mirror during a road-rage confrontation nearby.

The instinct from most outlets has been to frame this as one unhinged neighbor targeting a former hockey player.

That framing ignores the longer timeline. Avery's post-retirement life in the Hollywood Hills has produced a recurring cycle of confrontation, complaint, and escalation stretching back to his playing days.

Tuesday's incident may have been the most dangerous chapter yet, but it was not the first - and the history suggests it is unlikely to be the last.
