In 2012, actress Halle Berry had an unsettling run-in with a crazed fan named Richard Franco in her own home. Over the course of three days, Franco attempted to break into Halle Berry’s home. First, on July 9, he climbed the fence and appeared to be holding something before he was scared off.

He returned the next day and hid in the bushes only to come face to face with Berry through a glass door in her kitchen. Berry quickly locked the doors and called the police. Franco wasn’t initially found but was arrested the following night. He pleaded no contest to felony and was sentenced to 386 days in jail, five years of probation, and a year of mandatory counseling. The ordeal left Berry feeling as though she and her family had lost their sense of security.
