17-year-old Dancing with the Stars contestant and American Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson has found herself in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation.
A man claiming that he is meant to be with Johnson reportedly jumped over the fence of the Dancing with Stars Studio and tried sneaking in the building to see the Dancing starlet.
The man was later identified as Robert O’Ryan, a white male who, officers on the scene claim, is obsessed with the gymnast.
Papers filed on March 25 with the Los Angeles Superior Court state that Johnson’s mother has charged O’Ryan with harassment and civil stalking.
After being searched by LAPD, an expired concealed weapon license, a Colt 45 gun and duct tape were found in the vehicle belonging to O’Ryan.
Luckily, with strong security and a fiercely protective mother, Johnson left the studios untouched and unharmed.
Shawn Johnson was granted a temporary restraining order and the matter has been turned over to LAPD and the LA District Attorney’s office.
We hope that Shawn Johnson remains safe. We’re sure the security on DWTS will be beefed up a little more and we’re sure that the LAPD will handle the situation appropriately.We'll keep you posted as this story develops.
Meanwhile, the competitive cutie continues to compete in the Dancing with the Stars competition – and appears to be a favorite to win.
