A man who has repeatedly shown up at Ryan Seacrest's work
and events has pleaded no contest to felony stalking.
Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr entered the plea today in Los
Angeles and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Uzomah was arrested on October 30 after he showed up at the
E! Entertainment Television headquarters trying to contact
Seacrest.
The incident was a violation of a restraining order issued in
another case in which Uzomah admitted attacking one of
Seacrest's bodyguards at an event.
The popular host of "American Idol" and a radio show obtained
a civil restraining order against the 25-year-old.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's office says Uzomah will
be sentenced on June 14. He faces up to two years in state
prison.
