The naked intruder that Nicolas Cage found in his home last year has been ordered to undergo six months of drug rehab, according to officials.

Robert Dennis Furo, pleaded guilty to one count of stalking during a court appearance just outside of Los Angeles.

Cage and his family were at their waterfront home in the exclusive, gated community of Newport Beach on October 1 when Furo entered the house

A judge dropped two charges against the 46-year-old and gave credit for time already served.

Cage and his family were at their waterfront home in the exclusive, gated community of Newport Beach on October 1 when Furo entered the house.

The National Treasure star found Furo standing near a bathroom wearing nothing but one of his leather jackets.

The Oscar-winning actor confronted him, asked him to remove the jacket, escorted him outside, and called a security guard.

Furo's lawyer, Jack Kayajanian, said his client was in a stupor caused by sleeping pills and the prescription pain killer Vicodin.
