Earlier this week, White posted a video of a man trying to break into his house and offered a $2,500 reward for anyone who knew who he was.

However, on Tuesday, the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Brady Cooper, 23, of Glenburn, Maine, has been identified and charged with attempting to break into the home.

“Sheriff’s Office investigates attempted burglary in Levant, ME at property owned by Dana White. A suspect has been Identified and charged.

Dana White takes aim at the person trying to break into his house

As of right now, it’s uncertain if Cooper currently remains in custody or what the charge will be for trying to break into Dana White’s home.

But, on Tuesday, following the Contender Series, Dana White blasted the person trying to rob and break into his house.

“Do you f*****g think that you’re going to break into my house and there’s no cameras at my house, you f*****g idiots? It’s crazy. I’m assuming the guy was breaking in to try to rob the house,” Dana White said. “My sister and her husband and some of his friends are up there visiting right now. The guy came up and tried to kick the door in a couple times and then noticed the camera was there, tried to rip it off and rang the doorbell, freaked out and ran away.”
