'Yes, Again': 'NCIS' Actress Pauley Perrette Reports Latest Encounter With Transient

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — For the second time in less than three months, "NCIS" star Pauley Perrette is alleging she was accosted by a transient.

In a message posted to her Twitter page early Wednesday morning, Perrette said she was headed home from work late Tuesday nighton Cahuenga Boulevard when she saw a homeless man "asking for money from drivers."

Pauley - who wrote she keeps $1 bills in her glove box "for this very reason" - said she got the man's attention by holding up a dollar bill and the man approached her vehicle.

"He came to my window, to take my dollar. I said God Bless You", Perrette wrote.

According to Perrette, the man then grabbed her wrist, stuck his head inside the vehicle, held her arm and asked "What time is it?"

"He was in my car and I was scared. I looked at my dashboard and first said, 'I rebuke you satan (sic) in the name of Jesus Christ", she wrote.

Perrette then told him the time - "It's 5:37" - and he released his grip on her and left.

The actress claims she has a tactical knife and a stun gun in her vehicle, but opted not to use it because she "thought about that dollar to give to him first."

Perrette was allegedly assaulted outside of her Hollywood Hills home on Nov. 12 by 45-year-old David Merck, who faces a felony battery charge.
