The security guard was monitoring the 33-year-old model's home in Malibu on October 14 when the intruder - who was armed with a knife - jumped over the fence of the property and slashed the guard in the face, reported People magazine.
Los Angeles prosecutors charged the man, now known as Shaun Anthony Haywood, with one count each of attempted murder, aggravated mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon.
The 29-year-old man could face up to life in prison if found guilty of the charges brought against him.
A spokesperson for the LA County Sheriff's Department confirmed at the time: "The security guard drew a weapon and fired three to four rounds, hitting the suspect in the face and upper torso area."
