Seacrest Suspect Charged with Stalking
by TMZ Staff
The L.A. County District Attorney's office has charged Chidi Uzomah with felony stalking.
The 25-year-old was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a prior court order -- after assaulting a guard at Children's Hospital in Orange County and ordered to stay clear of Ryan Seacrest.
Uzomah is accused of stalking Seacrest between September 15 and October 30 -- the day he was arrested at the E! building where Ryan does a daily radio and TV show.
Uzomah, Jr. is currently in the Army Reserves in Upland, California. He was trained as a front line soldier and assigned to the 426th Civil Affairs Battalion -- a part of the Army special forces, which is attached to the Green Berets.
Before Uzomah's gig in the 426th, he served in the California Army National Guard from April 2005 through April 2009. He was honorably discharged and then transferred to the Army Reserves.
Lt. Col. Nathan Banks, an Army spokesperson, said: "We apologize to Ryan Seacrest. Pending the outcome of the local investigation, the Army will decide what further action to take. We take all matters of our personnel seriously."
Before he had cuffs on his wrists, the man accused of stalking Ryan Seacrest had stars in his eyes -- as in, the dude was training to be an actor ... and TMZ obtained footage from his acting class.
Just days before Chidi Uzomah was arrested for attacking Seacrest's security guard outside a hospital in Orange County, dude went to the Secrets of Acting studio and met with acting coach Charles Tentindo. Chidi told Tentindo he wanted "training" and came into the studio just once and ran through a scene a couple of times -- oddly enough, it was some kind of interrogation scene where Chidi was the witness. (BTW -- he's terrible).

I don't have much to say about this story, aside from a couple questions:
1) Who the hell would want to stalk Ryan Seacrest?
2) Is this in fact the creepiest man in America? I think he just beat out the guy who kidnapped Jaycee Duggard.
CLARK OUT!
