LOS ANGELES (CBS) There was a scary moment today for Angles outfielder Torii Hunter as he arrived to his Newport home after his early at-bat during the final spring game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Police responded to an alarm at about 2:45p.m.--while the game was still going on-- and drew their guns on Hunter until he showed them identification.

Hunter described the incident thru a series of tweets and even congratulated police for protecting his home.

"My alarm went off in my house while I was in it. 20mins later I saw cops checking out the scene. Went outside and they drew there guns on me," Hunter said on twitter. "They didn't believe I lived here in Newport coast so they walked me upstairs at gunpoint to get my ID. When I showed him my ID, he said I'm an angel fan hope u guys have a great season.
