Bullock fan accused of stalking actress

A FAN of Sandra Bullock has been accused with stalking the actress and trying to run down her husband, TV motorcycle maker Jesse James, outside their California home.

Marcia Valentine, 46, is charged with aggravated assault and stalking and could face up to four years, and eight months, in prison if convicted.

Valentine is on bail pending a May 22 court appearance in Westminster.

Last week, Bullock obtained a restraining order barring Valentine from contacting or coming near her home, family or work for three years.

The actress testified in court that on five occasions Valentine left in her garden palm fronds adorned with “weird signs” and “pieces of animal fur.”

Prosecutors say that several times Valentine lay down in front of the couple’s driveway until ordered away.

Bullock told the court that after Valentine was spotted on April 22 outside the couple’s home in Sunset Beach, her husband went outside and tried to write down the woman’s car registration number.

“When James went outside, Valentine is accused of screaming obscenities... getting into her silver Mercedes-Benz, and reversing her car in an effort to run over James,” the district attorney’s office said.

She narrowly missed James, reversed again in an effort to run him down and then fled, prosecutors said.

James, host of US TV’s Monster Garage, was not hurt. Valentine was arrested the next day by sheriff’s deputies while driving in the area.
