A convicted criminal was arrested outside E! offices in L.A. after showing up with a knife and asking for Ryan Seacrest, TMZ reports. Was wanting to see Seacrest the first thing that tipped authorities off to the fact something was wrong?
Ryan was in the building when Chidi Uzomah was arrested Friday, but it's not the first time there's been a run-in with the alleged stalker. He was convicted of battery last month after assaulting a Seacrest security guard at a hospital in Orange County. He got three years probation and an order to stay away from Seacrest.
The site says the same guy showed up at the offices of KIIS FM in Burbank, trying to find Ryan as he was doing his nationally syndicated radio show. Fortunately, Seacrest does the show from his E! office. The media maven's attorneys are asking for Uzoman to be locked up because he poses a danger to the Seacrest. We think that's what they call escalating psychosis, so we'd have to agree.
