Bullock Buff Charged with Assault, Stalking

Thu., May. 17, 2007 4:22 PM PDT by Natalie Finn

Sandra Bullock's number one fan has driven into a world of trouble.

The Orange County, California, woman arrested last month for allegedly trying to hit the actress' husband, Monster Garage host Jesse James, with her car was charged Thursday with felony assault and stalking and is expected to appear at West Justice Center in Westminster next Tuesday for arraignment.

Marcia Diane Valentine, who told investigators that she has seen every one of Bullock's movies, was picked up by the county sheriff's department on Apr. 23, a day after purportedly giving James an unpleasant surprise in the driveway of his and Bullock's Sunset Beach home.

According to the Miss Congeniality star, James noticed Valentine's silver Mercedes parked outside and when he went out to take down her license plate number, Valentine "got angry" and unsuccessfully tried three or four times to run him down, right in front of his missus and one of his sons.

Described by police as a "longtime stalker" of Bullock's, the Huntington Beach resident was taken into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and then released after posting a $25,000 bond.

Authorities said it wasn't the first time Valentine had been found lying in front of the couple's garage door, nor was it new for her to become belligerent with James when he tried to approach her.

Bullock obtained a temporary restraining order against Valentine on May 1 and made a cameo in court on May 11 to get the order extended—and to point out just how stalker-like Valentine had behaved on at least five other occasions.

After the actress testified that Valentine had tossed woven palm fronds accompanied by "weird signs" and "pieces of animal fur" over her gate and left similar stuff in a neighbor's yard, a judge ruled that there was "clear and convincing evidence" to label Valentine a stalker and ordered the 56-year-old woman to stay at least 500 yards away from Bullock, James and his three children for three years. She is not allowed to make any attempt to contact the family, either.

And while that order of protection is a binding legal document, the O.C. authorities are thinking that bars will certainly help.
