Police: Ellen DeGeneres Intruder Found Hiding on Deck

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Feb 14th 2011 08:30PM

The intruder arrested last week at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's house was found hiding behind cushions on their kitchen deck, prosecutors revealed in court Monday, TMZ.com reports.

Karen Sjoden was arrested last Thursday morning at 5AM on DeGeneres and de Rossi's property. She was asked to leave after first being spotted around 3AM, but she returned soon after and was quickly detained.

"You end up in someone's backyard at 3 in the morning ... then you are asked to leave ... and you come back later with no legit purpose whatsoever and secrete yourself ... you are probably up to no good. It only takes one time to be a threat," the judge told the suspect.

Prosecutors also said when Sjoden was taken into custody she was carrying a list of 10-12 celebrity names and addresses in addition to a long letter to Hilary Clinton. Cops tell TMZ she was carrying many pages of "delusional language" that included references to telepathic imaging machines, the CIA and the FBI.

Sjoden pled not guilty to misdemeanor trespassing, claiming she's a private investigator who was hired to follow DeGeneres.

FILE - In this Oct. 3, 2010 file photo, people participate in a candlelight vigil for Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi at Brower Commons on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, N.J. Clementi jumped to his death off a bridge a day after two classmates surreptitiously recorded him having sex with a man in his dorm room and broadcast it over the Internet. A recent spate of teenage suicides and two apparent anti-gay attacks have drawn attention to the gay community. In addition to the sympathy and outrage, manifested in campus vigils, viral videos by the likes of Ellen DeGeneres, a call for awareness by comedian Margaret Cho on "Dancing With the Stars," and even state legislation addressing the New Jersey case, political strategists think it might be an opportunity to advance gay rights.

Stu, I believe that you are that dildo of which you speak.

By Keith

She wanted to take the Portia out for a spin. Trust me. Ellen already had an alarm installed on the Portia and you don't really want to know where the alarm is. On a lighter note, the carpets are cleaned.

I can't believe that other Lady won the most awards. Country music is a relic from the past.

Lita I'd love to be that dildo that penetrates Portia's love canal

By Afro around my anus.

Imagine the morning-breath in that bed.
