The news reported that on Tuesday, March 24, Robert O’ Ryan was arrested on the set of Dancing with the Stars for jumping the security fence to try to get to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. Apparently he is a fan of seventeen-year-old Johnson and drove from Florida to see her in person. When police investigated his car, they found duct tape, loaded guns, and love letters. Johnson handled the situation very well and continued on with the show. The 34-year-old O'Ryan was charged Thursday with one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle and pleaded not guilty on his charges. A restraining order has been put by Johnson’s parents from O’ Ryan. There is a pending trial and if convicted, the stalker can be sentenced for up to four years in prison. It must be horrible to be Shawn Johnson right now and be afraid of this stalker coming after her again. Hopefully nothing happens and she continues doing well on “dancing with the star”. Since Shawn Johnson was in the Olympics, she has become a celebrity so it’s no wonder that she has gotten such a fan base. It’s ok to have fans but not creepy fans that want to have babies with you when you are underage, just like her stalker claimed to have said. There is a price to fame.
