Alleged Stalker Terrorizes Shawn Johnson

The man who has allegedly terrorized Shawn Johnson and her family has just pled not guilty to felony stalking and illegally carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

TMZ broke the story that 34-year-old Robert O'Ryan was arrested Tuesday on the CBS lot -- during a "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal -- after security confronted him and found out he had two loaded firearms in his car, along with duct tape and love letters to Shawn.

CBS security noticed O'Ryan jumping a fence and entering a hallway on the lot. Security approached him and asked for his ID -- and that's when O'Ryan produced an expired concealed weapons license and told them he had two loaded firearms in his car.

Johnson and her family obtained a restraining order -- Shawn's dancing partner, Mark Ballas, is also protected by the order. In the documents Shawn claims she's "in fear for her life" and scared O'Ryan might try to kidnap her.

Cops say O'Ryan moved from Florida to L.A. to be with Shawn because he believed she was speaking to him on TV through ESP and that they would have a child together.

TMZ has obtained photos of Robert O'Ryan -- the man accused of stalking Shawn Johnson. Notice the difference between what he looked like in court this afternoon and what he looked like before (gallery to the right).

16. There is always so much drama associated with this show. While most of the time, I feel all the injuries are fabricated for ratings sake, I do believe this is real and feel for Shawn. She is a great dancer for her age and I hope it doesn't effect her chances.

18. Dear Spell Checker,
You missed one...happing (first line) should be happening, but otherwise I completely agree. Nothing annoys me quite so much as poor spelling or grammar. What's happening to this country? No one can spell, and we have stalkers all over the place... UGH

"Learn how to spell properly before you go writing lengthy messages soliciting your coaching skills. It would be nice, as a coach, if you could spell country names and contestant names with their proper capitalization."

24. Who care ABC or CBS lot. The fact is this guy was (and still will be) after her and had something in mind to do to her for heaven sakes. Guns and duck tape!! He meant to do harm to her. He needs to be put away for good. Before he does hurt Shawn. This has happened before and the law did nothing from what I remember, the guy walked right up to the girl and shot her. And for what? Because he had this notion they should be together or something like that. Sick sick sick this guy is. Put him away!!!

28. My heart goes out to Shawn and her family. This is very serious and I hope they keep this idiot locked up for ever.

29. Just because it comes out on ABC it does not mean that it automatically has to be recorded on ABC studios cuz there is really no such studios around here. The show records its episodes on the CBS studios. If you want to check it for yourself go to ocatv.com and it will tell you right there. I guess by your response, I assume that you have not been an audience member. The studios they record in dont have much to do. IE. CSI Miami records here in the Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach. The 70s Show would come out on Fox but would record in the CBS studios as well. Nothing to do with it....
