Ryan Seacrest Files for Restraining Order Against Stalker

A temporary restraining order has been filed against a man who has continued to stalk television and radio talk show host Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest's attorneys filed for the order after Chidi Uzomah, Jr., 25, showed up to E! headquarters in Los Angeles carrying a knife.

This is not the first time Uzomah has tried to come into contact with Seacrest. He was arrested once before for attacking a security guard while trying to get close to Seacrest.  He was later sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years probation. He was also ordered to stay away from Seacrest.

Uzomah came to the lobby on Friday morning with the knife on him, asking to see Seacrest. The security guard recognized him and immediately called the police department.

Uzomah was arrested and book on stalking charges, and is being held on $150,000 bail.
