The intruder was then restrained after the star shouted for his security, according to reports.
Hughes is said to have been taken into custody after police were called to the Detroit property, and it has been reported that he was arrested on first-degree home invasion and malicious destruction of a building.
According to TMZ, Hughes is still being held on a $50k bond at the Macomb County Jail.
