Actress Berry gets restraining order against persistent stalker

HALLE BERRY obtained a restraining order against a man who was taken into custody outside her home hours earlier, the third such arrest in as many days.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Goodson ordered Richard Franco, 27, to stay 100 yards away from Berry and her young daughter if he is released from jail.

It was Franco’s third arrest for trespassing at the Oscar-winning actress’ home in three days.

“This person has jeopardised not only my personal safety, but also the safety and well-being of my family,” Berry wrote in a sworn declaration.

“This person has invaded and trampled upon the most fundamental sense of security I have, and I am extremely frightened of him and what he might do to me or those I love.”
