Jennifer Aniston Intruder Pleads Innocent  8/30/05

David Hesterbey, the man accused of breaking into Jennifer Aniston's rented Malibu home, has pleaded innocent to burglary and other charges.

The 48-year-old Californian was arrested on suspicion of trespassing last week (25AUG05) after he entered the beachfront house through an unlocked door, reportedly searching for the former Friends star.

The 36-year-old actress was traveling back from Chicago, where she is filming The Break Up, when the incident happened.

Hesterbey pleaded not guilty to charges of first degree burglary and petty theft, and is being held in custody with bail set at $70,000.

According to Los Angeles County District Attorney Jane Robinson, the petty theft charge was due to Hesterbey allegedly taking a cab from Santa Barbara to Malibu, but refusing to pay the driver.

A restraining order has been issued against him after Aniston filed a petition - the hearing date for the order has been set for 14 September (05).

Meanwhile, a pre-trial hearing for the burglary and petty charges is scheduled for 7 September (05).

Hesterbey faces up to six years behind bars if convicted.
