EXCLUSIVE: Accused Paris Hilton Intruder Pleads Not Guilty
Sept. 3 2010, Published 6:15 a.m. ET
Nathan Lee Parada, 31, has entered a plea of not guilty to a felony burglary charge this afternoon in a Van Nuys courtroom.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Parada was arrested August 24 when police said he trespassed onto Paris Hilton's Sherman Oaks, California property wielding two knives.
Hilton told us following the incident that she was awakened by banging on the windows, and that her dogs were barking loudly.
"What a scary sight to wake up to," Hilton told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. "I can't believe the knives he was carrying. Thank God the police arrived quickly."
Parada was arrested earlier this summer in Redlands, California on July 26 when he allegedly broke into a Kohl’s store and took more than $20,000 worth of jewelry.
It's also been a rocky summer for Hilton, who was stopped twice by police on suspicion of marijuana possession while on vacation. She was arrested last week in Las Vegas and charged with possession of a controlled substance after police discovered cocaine in her purse.
