Halle Berry -- Repeat 'Stalker' Arrested at Her Home

TMZ has learned ... the man who terrified Halle Berry all weekend returned to her Hollywood Hills home late Monday night -- and this time police busted the suspect on the scene after Halle ID'd him.

Law enforcement sources say the man jumped over the back wall at Halle's home right around 11PM Monday night. This time her private security -- off-duty police officers -- were watching the suspect on a security camera as he entered the grounds.

They quickly nabbed the guy and called LAPD officers to the scene -- who arrested and booked him on suspicion of felony stalking.

We're told police believe this is the same man Halle spotted in her backyard Saturday and Sunday ... prompting an all out search for the suspect.

UPDATE: The man has been identified as 27-year-old Richard Franco.

Why arrest and book him? Just splat his nuts against the same wall he jumped over. One good stomp should do the trick. Or pry two bricks from the wall and squash his nuts between these bricks.

Thank God!!! Now don't let him out with just a slap on the wrist. Needs a 5150 evaluation and throw this loon in the cell.
Stay safe Halle.

I'm tired of seeing this woman's face here. She actually spooks me with all her dysfunctional behavior and not able to hold to a relationship and always using the race card.

Glad they got him. No matter how you slice it, without knowing the details, this guy is obviously effed up in one form or another.

I can't stand the sight of this woman, I don't understand why a stalker would want to look at her.
