Shawn Johnson Under Tight Surveillance

Posted Mar 26th 2009 7:35AM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD will present the case against Robert O'Ryan to the L.A. County D.A., probably sometime this morning. It's likely that stalking and other charges will be filed -- that would almost certainly up O'Ryan's bail....presumably enough to keep him behind bars in the short term.

Shawn Johnson is playing some serious defense in the wake of an obsessed and armed fan's arrest outside "Dancing With the Stars."

TMZ has learned the 17-year-old has a new personal bodyguard, who's already been spotted shadowing her around town. Sources tell us Shawn's protector is an off-duty police officer.

Robert O'Ryan was arrested after trying to get into Monday night's taping of the show. Police say they found a loaded handgun and a loaded shotgun in his car. O'Ryan remains in custody, held on $35,000 bail.

We're told Shawn, her "Dancing" partner Mark Ballas, and the rest of the cast were informed about O'Ryan after Monday's show.

17. If she is a sweet little kid she should go back to the playground and not be grinding with grownups on DWTS.

20. All these fat, nasty, old, wrinkley, bitches on here that are so miserable with themselves and their own wasted lives that feel the need to attack a 17 year old CHILD and berate her are hilarious!!!! You fatass whores deserve your misery and loserdom. This chick will always be relevant while you'll continue being jealous and envious of her from your little pointless lives in obscurity.

Even she, or if anyone else, seeked out getting on the show who would care, but you skanks are aware that she, like everyone else, was INVITED on, right??? But please, go back to ripping on a teenager because she's more beautiful and talented than you could ever dream of being.

21. My, my. So many spiteful, nano-brained nobodies apparently jealous of Ms. Johnson just because she's intelligent and accomplished, and you're....NOT.

TMZ editors and so-called photogs have contributed to the idle idiot chatter by choosing to publish nasty, snide remarks about this young lady, who has done nothing but conduct herself with poise and maturity.

Too bad most of you here (so far) couldn't achieve that on your best day.

22. If that guy really had two guns on him and I were Shawn? My butt would be on the fastest plane out of L.A.! I would not stay and finish "Dancing with the Stars". My Butt would be on some tropical island somewhere!

25. Wow- what a bunch of nasty haters. Shawn Johnson is an adorable girl who is an awesome gymnast. No she did not win all around but she sure as hell has more class. She handled it with grace and dignity. Get you fat as*es out there and do something. Stop picking on a 17 year old girl. This speaks volumes for this country- no wonder you elected a jackas** for President. Shawn is a hard worker who has worked this hard since she was 6. WOW_ jealousy is such an ugly thing and you are all extremely jealous!!!!!

26. What's the shock here? Obssessed psychos...loaded guns...sounds like another typical day in the USA.
You want free access to murderous weapons as a Right. When murderous weapons are a Right they are legitimized to conform to everyday life. They become an extension of your physicality and are used like any other appendage on the Human body...to assist in getting want you want.
Mix that in with the American "Entertainment" mind warping machine and...well...
now you know the rest of the story.

30. It's funny how those of you hating on a minor either cannot procreate or your parents used your craniums as ashtrays. This is a 17 year-old who ONLY happened to become an Olympian. You people are idiots. Those of you who are idiots with kids should only hope your child is not threatened by someone like this.

As for this guy, again, she is a minor. How can he be held on $35,000 bail. He should not be offered bail. Period.
