LOS ANGELES - A 34-year-old Florida man arrested Tuesday outside the "Dancing with the Stars" studio with two loaded guns in his possession was charged today with stalking and carrying loaded firearms, the District Attorney's office announced.

Robert Michael O'Ryan, (dob 5-22-74), is scheduled to be arraigned today at the Criminal Justice Center, Dept. 30, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Wendy Segall with the Stalking and Threat Assessment Team.

O'Ryan was charged in case No. BA 354488 with one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle. He is being held on $35,000 bail, but prosecutors will ask bail be set at $220,000.

O'Ryan was arrested after allegedly trying to jump a security fence at CBS Studios in the Wilshire District where the ABC show is filmed. Police found a loaded handgun and shotgun in his car. O'Ryan allegedly drove from Florida to meet Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, who is appearing on the show.
If convicted, he faces up to four years state prison.
