(CBS/AP) Richard A. Franco, the man accused of scaling the fence of Halle Berry's house, will remain in jail after pleading no contest to stalking the Oscar-winning actress.

Franco was sentenced to serve 386 days in county jail Thursday, but he has already served half the term, says Deputy District Attorney Wendy Segall.

The 28-year-old was also placed on five year's probation, a year of psychological counseling and ordered to stay away from the actress for the next 10 years.

Franco was arrested outside Berry's home in July after repeatedly coming onto her property. In a sworn statement, Berry stated Franco attempted to enter her kitchen, but she was able to lock the door before he got inside.

A burglary charge filed against Franco was dropped.
