Of all people, a U.S. Army reservist has allegedly been stalking Ryan Seacrest. The knife-wielding Chidi Uzomah Jr. is in police custody on $150,000 bail after Uzomah had an frightening incident with Seacrest on Friday.
The Army Reserve has commented. Says Lt. Colonel Nathan Banks, "It is disappointing to have a soldier act in that form or fashion, however, we will allow the local police to do their initial investigation, and we will chime in afterwards,"
The details of the incident are one sided at this point. Uzomah had been monitored loitering around the E-Entertainment offices lobby by security guards. To make matters worse he was carrying a pocket knife. Security then tricked him in to staying around while the called the police by telling him that Seacrest was coming to meet him. Uzomah was then taken into custody by handcuffs by LAPD without incident. From here Seacrest's lawyer Blair Berk filed a restraining order on Uzomah.
What will happen next? Aside from not having any contact with Seacrest the Army spokesperson says "He could possibly be honorably discharged or bad conduct discharged, but it's too early to state because we first have to let the due process happen," he said. "We will wait and be patient and not rush to judgment yet."
