Soap Star Attacked, Decks Obsessed FanPosted Jan 3rd 2007 7:09PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Celebrity Justice, TVTMZ has obtained a restraining order filed by veteran "Days of Our Lives" actor Drake Hogestyn against a man he says assaulted him in his home on New Year's Eve, and "physically tried to exorcise the devil from me." Hogestyn, who has played John Black on NBC's "Days" for over 20 years, says he was with his family in the backyard of their Malibu home when Carl Raymond Cheney of Portland, OR came onto his property and ran at his daughter carrying a bible screaming "Where is he? I will cast him out!" Hogestyn says Cheney was "calling me by my stage name... recalling past storylines, especially the demonic possession of several years past. But more important, he thought I was dead, because the show that aired on Friday 12.29.06 left my character John Black shot & presumed dead." Hogestyn, who was on a ladder painting his house, says Cheney grabbed and pushed his wife backwards on their patio stairs. At that time, Hogestyn "grabbed him by the hair, spun him around, delivered a right cross to the chin that sent him down the stairs." According to the restraining order the struggle continued for 10 minutes until Hogestyn and his 25-year-old son Ben were able to subdue Cheney by duct-taping the intruder's hands and feet until police arrived. Cheney was transported to the L.A. County Jail where he is still in custody on $150,000 bail. According to the court documents, a map with directions from Portland to Hogestyn's home were found in the front seat of Cheney's car. www.tmz.com/2007/01/03/soap-star-attacked-decks-obsessed-fan/Here's a link to the restraining order... www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/010306_hogestyn_wm.pdf

Man enters plea in soap-star case
LOS ANGELES - A man accused of trying to exorcise the devil from a "Days of Our Lives" star after bursting into his Malibu backyard pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and entering private property without permission.
In addition, a judge granted a restraining order sought by actor Drake Hogestyn against Carl Raymond Cheney of Oregon, who entered his plea Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Hogestyn, who plays John Black on the popular NBC soap, said in his request for the order that he was on a ladder on New Year's Eve when Cheney ran at his daughter screaming, "'Where is he? I will cast him out.'"
Cheney clutched a Bible while recalling an episode of the soap about demonic possession, the documents state, adding that the intruder also grabbed Hogestyn's wife and pushed her backward.
Hogestyn said he jumped from a ladder and intercepted the intruder.
"I grabbed him by the hair, spun him around, delivered a right cross to the chin that sent him down the stairs," the actor said.
"This sick person Carl Raymond Cheney believed that Satan was in me and that he was the Christ," he wrote.
Hogestyn and his son restrained the man with duct tape until police arrived and arrested him.
After entering his plea, Cheney was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay with his father. He was also ordered to undergo psychological counseling and take his prescribed medications.
He is scheduled for sentencing on Feb. 6

Let me just say that I feel like an idiot for thinking this way, but did anyone else have a mental image of Drake raising that eyebrow like he does as John? ;D
