Taye Diggs chased down a home invader after the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.

When Diggs returned home from the awards show with wife Idina Menzel (Wicked, Glee), he spotted an intruder in the garage of his Los Angeles home. The intruder, later identified as Hassan Juma, was detained before he could escape the scene of the intended crime, and was arrested and charged with burglary. He is currently in custody and is being held at $50,000 bail.

“The suspect tried to run away, but [Diggs] chased him down the street and was able to detain him until police arrived,” LAPD spokesman Richard French told People. “At this time, I don’t know exactly what he did to the suspect to detain him."

Just hours prior to Digg’s vigilante style rundown, he was on stage at the SAG awards with Busy Phillips (Cougar Town) to present the award for Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Drama Series, which went to Homeland’s Claire Danes. Following the awards ceremony, Diggs and Menzel had hit up an after party spun by DJ Pesce.

Diggs' has some films in the works, including a sequel to The Best Man as the Private Practice series finale aired on Jan. 22, while wife Menzel is rumored to reprise her role as Nancy Tremaine in Enchanted 2.
