FIRST OFF . . .

A woman on probation for taking the car of late-night television host David Letterman last spring faced additional charges in New Canaan, Conn., Monday for entering his home over the weekend. Margaret Ray, 36, was to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on charges of first-degree criminal trespass, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police would not say how Ray got into Letterman’s house or whether he was home at the time. Last May, Ray was arrested on the New Jersey side of the Lincoln Tunnel as she was driving into New York City in Letterman’s 1988 midnight blue Porsche with her 3-year-old son. Ray identified herself as Letterman’s wife and introduced her son as David Jr. She was subsequently arrested after Letterman, who is not married, told police he did not know her and said she did not have permission to drive his car. After that incident, police revealed Ray had apparently lived in Letterman’s three-bedroom New Canaan house for a couple of days while Letterman was out of town. In September, a Norwalk Superior Court judge ordered Ray not to have any contact with Letterman except through the mail. The judge also ordered her to remain at Fairfield Hills Hospital where she had been undergoing psychiatric treatment since August.
