The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Robert Michael O’Ryan, 34, of Yullee, Fla. on Tuesday after he allegedly tried to break onto the set of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars to meet contestant Shawn Johnson, EW has confirmed. Police say security personnel found and detained O’Ryan after he had entered the show’s production lot. Authorities later found illegally possessed firearms in his parked car. O’Ryan was arrested and booked for possession of a firearm and is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail.
Johnson, 17, is considered a favorite to win DWTS this season. She won an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics last summer in Bejing. Johnson’s mother, Teri, had a temporary restraining order issued against O’Ryan on Wednesday
UPDATE: O’Ryan has pleaded not guilty to charges of stalking and carrying loaded firearms. Prosecutors plan to ask that bail be set at $220,000. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. A trial date of April 27 has been set.
Bless her heart. She must be a bundle of nerves. I hope she doesn’t let this psycho control her life. This nutjob needs to be prosecuted. And Shawn needs to keep on living and keep on dancing. I hope neither she nor her partner or for that matter any of the other couples allow the acts of a fool to deny them the opportunity to be successful next Monday night. As for the network, keep up the tight security!!!
Wow. Gives a whole new meaning for wanting her taco to pop (her annoying taco commercial)! lol :-p
A deserving “Good job!” to the security staff over at Dancing with the Stars!
Duct tape – ooo- sounds kinky
Once again another traveling gun and duct tape salesman gets mistakenly accused of “stalking.”
thats creepy, that poor girl. they should keep him in prison for that. you dont know what he would do to her,
This sicko needs to be locked up for a very long time. Apparently, some of the people on this thread have some issues as well.
Either I’m blind as a bat, or something, because where is everyone getting duct tape from?
shes 17 being chased by A 35 year old guy with problems AND HES BEING OFFERED BAIL AND HES ONLY GETTING 4 YEARS thats bull
Oh, but everyone dumped on David Cook b/c he tried to get some over-the-top fans to tone it down a bit. People are crazy and even celebs have a right to safety and privacy.
