New York, Nov 14 : A southern California dental assistant who terrorized Sandra Bullock and dumped pieces of animal fur in the actress’ backyard has been placed on three years'' probation.

Marcia Valentine, 47, pled guilty to the misdemeanor charge of stalking the "Premonition" actress, reports the New York Daily News.

Bullock, who went to court in May 2007 and obtained a restraining order against Valentine, testified that Valentine had, on five separate occasions, left "weird signs" using palm fronds and "pieces of animal fur."

Valentine was arrested in April 2007 after police said she tried to run down Bullock''s husband, motorcycle mogul Jesse James, outside the couple''s home in Sunset Beach.

But a charge of assault with a deadly weapon over that incident was dismissed against Valentine. (ANI)
