Alleged Shawn Johnson Armed Stalker Arrested Near DWTS Set
A man was arrested who allegedly was stalking Olympian Shawn Johnson near the set of Dancing with the Stars. Robert O’Ryan, 34, allegedly jumped a fence at CBS Studios in L.A. where the show was filming, but was caught by security. Police later searched O’Ryan’s car where they discovered a shotgun and handgun as well as duct tape, love letters, clippings and other information about Johnson. O’Ryan later admitted he was attempting to meet the 17-year-old, reportedly telling cops that he had “packed all his belongings and permanently left Florida to drive out here to be with (Johnson).” Johnson’s mother, Teri, requested and received a temporary restraining order from the L.A. Superior Court on Wednesday. O’Ryan has been ordered to stay 300 feet (91 metres) away from Johnson who now has a bodyguard, and not to harass her parents or TV dancing partner Mark Ballas. His bail has been set at $35,000.
