Shawn Johnson, the 17-year-old Olympic medalist who is currently starring on Dancing with the Stars, is probably breathing a breath of fresh air after her stalker was caught.

Robert O’Ryan, 34, a fan obsessed with Johnson, tried to sneak onto the set of the show but luckily was caught before he could get close to her.

A CBS employee apparently spotted O’Ryan jumping a fence and entering a studio. Security immediately confronted him, asking for identification. That’s when O’Ryan produced an expired weapons permit. When asked if he had a gun on him, he replied that he had two in his car. That’s when the police were called in.

O’Ryan told police he had come all the way from Florida to be with Johnson. From a police report: “He had packed all his belongings and permanently left Florida to drive out here to be with [Shawn Johnson], he believes that she speaks to him personally through the television set and through ESP and that they will have a child together, he stated he would be with her no matter what.”

Why do stalkers always think celebs are communicating through their TVs anyhow? Creepy! What’s even creepier is what police found in O’Ryan’s car while they searched it for weapons.

Documents from Johnson’s camp state, “The LAPD searched his vehicle and located a loaded .45 handgun, a loaded shotgun, and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties, and a map to the victim. Also found were love letters, clippings and other information on the victim.”

Since Johnson is a minor her mother has filed a petition for a restraining order against the stalker.

The teen is said to be “in fear for her life, she is extremely upset by this incident and her entire family and those around are all extremely concerned and fearful that [O’Ryan] might try to kidnap her or harm her in an effort to make good on his statements.”

O’Ryan is currently in police custody and is being held on $35,000 bail.
