The panel on Thursday also found Jason Luis Rivera guilty of resisting arrest after he was caught at the actress and singer’s home. The 40-year-old’s sentencing is scheduled for Friday.

Rivera has been jailed since his arrest Sept. 8, when authorities say he was caught at Cyrus’ home carrying a pair of scissors.

Police say Rivera told them he was a friend of the singer-actress and repeatedly threw himself against an outside wall as if trying to break in.

Cyrus wasn’t home during the incident.

A phone message left for Rivera’s court-appointed attorney was not immediately returned.
