UPDATE!

Jamie Foxx Jumper Deemed "Actively Psychotic"

Sounds like Jamie Foxx really got lucky.

A Pennsylvania judge ruled today that the intruder Foxx managed to boot out of his hotel room last week is incompetent to stand trial and must undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Municipal Court Judge David C. Shuter also ordered that the assailant, identified as 49-year-old Steven Taliver, be transferred from a Philadelphia lockup to Norristown State Hospital for 60 days for treatment after a court psychiatrist declared in a sworn statement that Taliver was "actively psychotic," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Oscar winner was in the City of Brotherly Love filming Law Abiding Citizen, when Taliver, posing as one of Beyoncé's producers, tried to barge into the actor's room at the AKA Hotel.

Assistant District Attorney Kelley Hodge says Taliver "made some type of threatening movement or gesture" as he attmpted to gain access to Foxx's luxury suite. A struggle ensued, but Foxx managed to slam shut the door and keep Taliver at bay.

Taliver, a homeless man, had been spotted lurking around the film set earlier in the day. He had also been booted out of the hotel earlier, "so he knew he was not welcome," Hodge said.

After Taliver fled the hotel, Philly cops tracked him down and arrested him on suspicion of stalking, false impersonation and other charges. A status hearing to review his mental health is scheduled for June 5.

Foxx next appears on the big screen as a schizophrenic homeless man opposite Robert Downey Jr. in The Soloist, hitting theaters April 24.
