WOMAN BREAKS INTO HOME OF COMEDIAN FOR SIXTH TIME

A woman who once claimed she was David Letterman's wife was charged Monday with breaking into the talk-show host's home for a sixth time - two days after her release from prison for an earlier break-in.

Margaret Ray, 37, of Crawford, Colo., was arrested at 12:46 a.m. Monday and charged with first-degree trespassing when she was found near the tennis court on Letterman's property, said police Sgt. Nick Warren.

Letterman called to report seeing her in the hallway of his home, Warren said.

Warren said Ray had also been there the day before. Letterman had called Sunday to report a broken window, and when police went to investigate, they found her in the house, escorted her off the property and warned her not to come back.

Ray was held overnight in lieu of $1,000 bond and taken to Norwalk Superior Court on Monday afternoon, where a psychiatric evaluation was ordered, said a spokeswoman in the public defender's office. Ray was taken to the Niantic State Prison for women and is due back in court April 4.
