LOS ANGELES, June 23 (UPI) -- Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's home intruder Ariel Archer pleaded no contest to misdemeanor trespass Monday.

The 26-year-old woman was sentenced to three years summary probation, and is subject to a restraining order which prohibits her from coming within 150 feet of the Smith family and their house.

A housekeeper discovered Archer in the celebrity couple's kitchen in March, and called police after the home intruder refused to leave. Neither of the Smiths, nor their two children, were home when the incident occurred.

Smith and Pinkett Smith married in 1997, and are parents to 16-year-old son Jaden and 14-year-old daughter Willow. The actress recently told Access Hollywood she and Smith keep their marriage strong by retaining their identities as individuals.

"I really do think it comes from us really understanding ourselves as individuals," she said of their bond. "As a woman, me being very comfortable in my own skin, and as a man, him being very comfortable in his own skin, and then we come together."

Smith is scheduled for a number of upcoming projects, including DC Comics film Suicide Squad and Hurricane Katrina drama The American Can. Pinkett Smith will next appear in Magic Mike XXL with Channing Tatum, which opens in theaters July 1.
