TOM CRUISE BANISHES "TREATENING" FAN

Don't mess with the Top Gunner.

Tom Cruise has obtained a restraining order against a military veteran facing a weapons rap who repeatedly showed up univited to Cruise's Beverly Hills home to try and hand deliver a letter to the star.

Darryl Perlin, senior deputy district attorney for Santa Barbara County, tells E! News that the order issued Wednesday bars 28-year-old Edward Van Tassel from having any contact or communications with the 46-year-old Cruise. It also forbids Van Tassel from coming anywhere near the actor's Beverly Hills estate.

"He's definitely a threat. He's a celebrity stalker," said Perlin.

It was on Dec. 3 when Van Tassel first showed up at Cruise's home, trying to get in contact with the star. He was turned away, only to come back hours later.

Four days later, just after 5 a.m., Van Tassel showed up again, prompting a security guard to call the cops.
