Armed Fan Tries to Break onto Set of 'Dancing With The Stars'
A man arrested for trying to break onto the set of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, was reportedly armed with guns and duct tape.
Court records show a restraining order was issued against 34-year old Robert O'Ryan after his arrest.
O'Ryan reportedly told police he was trying to meet 17-year old Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, a performer on the dance competition.
On Monday, O'Ryan was stopped by security after he jumped a fence at CBS Studios, were the show is produced.
Security records indicate O'Ryan said he had packed up all his belongings and moved to California from Florida to be with Johnson.
Police say a search of O'Ryan's car revealed two guns and duct tape.
The gold-medal-winning Olympic gymnast is "in fear for her life," according to court papers filed by Johnson's mother, Teri.
"He believes (Johnson) is speaking to him personally through the television and via ESP and that he will be with her no matter what," Johnson's court papers state.
"This incident has caused us severe emotional distress, we have been on the move ever since and have not been able to rest for fear that this disturbed person will attempt to make good on his statements and attempt to harm my daughter and possibly us as well," Teri Johnson wrote in the papers.
A hearing on whether to extend the order was set for April 14 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
O'Ryan is being held on $35,000 bail on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public.

'Dancing with the Stars'' Shawn Johnson Files Restraining Order
ET has obtained the restraining order filed on Shawn Johnson's behalf against a man who allegedly tried to crash the set of "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday to meet the 17-year-old contestant.
According to the temporary order filed by Johnson's mother, Robert O'Ryan, 34, must not harass Johnson in any way, contact her directly or indirectly, or try to determine her present whereabouts. The order also specifies that Johnson's mother, father and pro "Dancing" partner Mark Ballas seek protection from O'Ryan.
Johnson's publicist tells ET: "The matter has been turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. It is currently an ongoing investigation and we are confident that it will be handled appropriately by all involved."
According to the restraining order, O'Ryan was arrested while trespassing on CBS Studios in an attempt to contact the Olympic gymnast. At that time, he stated he had permanently left Florida to drive cross country to L.A. because he believes Johnson is "speaking to him personally through the television and via ESP and that he will be with her no matter what."
The order says O'Ryan's vehicle contained two loaded guns and "other incriminating items" such as duct tape. Police also discovered love letters to Johnson.
O'Ryan is being held on $35,000 bail, according to his booking sheet. His court hearing is scheduled for April 14.
