WAILUKU -- The woman who was caught doing her laundry and eating a pizza at former Beatle George Harrison's house in east Maui last December has been placed on one-year probation. She is expected to leave Hawaii and live with her parents in New Jersey.

Cristin J. Keleher, 27, pleaded no contest to reduced misdemeanor charges stemming from trespassing on Harrison's property and entering his home in Nahiku on Dec. 23 of last year.

She had been charged with first-degree burglary and fourth-degree theft in entering the home and eating food. Instead, she pleaded no contest to first-degree criminal trespass and fourth-degree theft.

She was expected to be released today.

Keleher's arrest in Nahiku came seven days before Harrison fought off a knife-wielding intruder in his mansion west of London and received a wound that collapsed his right lung. Harrison and his wife, Olivia, overpowered the intruder and held him until police arrived.

Maui Deputy Prosecutor J.W. Hupp said Harrison's attorney agreed with the terms of Keleher's plea agreement. Harrison was not at the Nahiku residence at the time of Keleher's entry into the home.

Keleher, who spent a total of four months in jail before the hearing, said she was a fan of Harrison's and apologized for her actions.

"I thank God George did not press charges against me," Keleher said. "I learned a lesson."
