Chef Adam Perry Lang has been arrested at Jimmy Kimmel's beach house after cops received a report of explosives.

Lang has been charged felony charges of making criminal threats after cops swarmed the late night host's Hermosa Beach, California, just before midnight on Saturday.

Kimmel's friend Lang was believed to be staying in the property at the time.

It has not known what led to the bizarre situation, but it was initially thought to have been 'swatting', according to TMZ.

However, an officer with the Hermosa Beach Police says that it is not considered to be a case of the dangerous prank.

'There is a reason we arrested him [Lang]. There is evidence detectives are now processing,' an unnamed officer told TMZ.

'The "male" that called 911 was absolutely not Adam Perry Lang,' Lang's lawyer Glen T. Jonas said. 'Mr. Lang will be cleared of any wrongdoing. He was fast asleep with his ringer off. He immediately cooperated once he was notified of the commotion.'

Police allegedly were dispatched due to a 911 call from a male in the residence claiming to have assaulted a girlfriend with a rifle and to be in possession of two explosives.

Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney were not at the home, as it is not the Kimmel family's primary residence. Police instead spent 'several hours' trying to make contact with Lang, who was allegedly asleep.
