Woman Charged With Trespassing Home Of Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi

BEVERLY HILLS (CBS) — A woman, who was arrested last week at the Beverly Hills home of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia de Rossi, was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of trespassing.

Karen Grace Sjoden, 49, was scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in Beverly Hills Superior Court.

Sjoden was arrested last Thursday after being detained by a 24-hour security team that protects the property. She did not enter the couple's home, a representative for DeGeneres told People magazine.

Sjoden has been jailed on $5,000 bail.
