A woman had to be escorted out of the Pepsi Center Sunday night after she tried to walk onto the court during the first half of the playoff game between the Nuggets and the Lakers. Sonny Jackson, a spokesman for Denver Police Department said the woman, Savannah McMillan-Christmas, 20, was arrested and cited for trespassing.

She is not being detained, but will appear in court on Monday, Jackson said.

She walked onto the court toward Ty Lawson just over the mid-court line near the end of the first half. She was immediately escorted out of the arena.

Kurt Schwartzkopf, chief marketing officer at the Pepsi Center said the woman did not appear intoxicated, but was disoriented. He said the woman was picked up and taken home by her mother.

Jackson said it was off-duty Denver officers at the game who cited McMillan-Christmas and escorted her out. TNT reported that the woman had been banned from Pepsi Center in the past for stalking a former Nugget player. Yahoo Sports reported that she stalked Kenyon Martin when he was with the team.
