LOS ANGELES -- An Oregon man has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and entering private property without permission after bursting into the Malibu backyard of "Days of Our Lives" star Drake Hogestyn.

A judge also granted Hogestyn a restraining order against Carl Raymond Cheney.

Hogestyn, who plays John Black on the popular soap opera, said 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." Court documents said Cheney was clutching a a bible and was trying to exorcise the devil from the actor. He was 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 intercepted the intruder and he and his son restrained the man with duct tape until police arrived.

"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.

Cheney was released on his own recognizance and ordered to stay with his father. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 6.

3. I thought the devil was in Marlena, aka Electra Woman

i haven't watched Days in a long time, but I do remember when Marlena was possessed by Satan-it was one of the best and campiest storylines ever.
