LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County prosecutors have charged a man with stalking "Dancing With the Stars" contestant and Olympic gymnastics champion Shawn Johnson.


Authorities charged 34-year-old Robert O'Ryan of Florida on Thursday with one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle.


He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.


O'Ryan is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail. Prosecutors have asked the amount to be raised to $220,000.


Authorities say O'Ryan was arrested Tuesday after he tried to jump a security fence at a studio where the ABC show is filmed.


Police say they found a loaded shotgun and handgun in his car.


If convicted, O'Ryan could face up to four years in prison.
