Man Charged with Stalking Ryan SeacrestChidi Uzomah arrested at E! building last week.Updated: Monday, 02 Nov 2009, 3:00 PM PSTPublished : Monday, 02 Nov 2009, 3:00 PM PSTBy: myFOXla.com Web StaffLos Angeles - A man recently convicted of assaulting one of Ryan Seacrest's bodyguards was charged today with stalking the "American Idol" host and trying to disobey a court order. Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr., 25, of Los Angeles, was scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow at the downtown Los Angeles courthouse on one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of attempted disobeying of a court order. The criminal complaint alleges that Uzomah stalked Seacrest "on or between" Sept. 15 and last Friday, and that he attempted to disobey a court order on Oct. 2 and last Friday. Uzomah was arrested Friday at the E! building -- in the 5700 block of Wilshire Boulevard -- where Seacrest tapes a daily TV show. The same day, a Los Angeles judge granted Seacrest's request for a temporary stay-away order against the alleged stalker, directing Uzomah to stay at least 100 yards away from Seacrest, his home and his workplace. Uzomah also allegedly appeared at radio station KIIS-FM in Burbank earlier this month looking for Seacrest. Chidi was convicted of three misdemeanor counts last month after attacking a Seacrest security guard at a hospital in Orange County . He also pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors and was placed on three years probation, a condition of which was a requirement that he stay away from Seacrest. A hearing is scheduled Nov. 17 on whether to extend the restraining order.
