More Stalker News: David Caruso's Stalker Is In Jail, Shawn Johnson's Stalker Has A Restraining Order

Posted by Jake Kalish

 

Is it so hard to just watch the shows without stalking the people on them? This is out of control:

A woman has reportedly been jailed for seven months in Austria after allegedly sending a death threat to "CSI: Miami" star David Caruso.

The woman, 41, sent the threat after the actor failed to give her an autograph, France's AFP news agency reports. The fan is said to have sent Caruso over a hundred letters including the death threat.

She will be held in a jail for prisoners with psychiatric issues, though AFP says the woman's lawyer is still considering an appeal.

In an attempt to avoid arrest, the woman initially fled to Mexico, but returned to Austria after 10 months and turned herself into authorities in March.

The Caruso news comes hot on the heels of the Tila Tequila stalker story, which is just as horrific. And that came only a couple of weeks after the Shawn Johnson stalker story. Oh yeah, about that:

Dancing With the Stars” contestant Shawn Johnson has been granted a three-year restraining order against her alleged stalker, Robert O’Ryan.

A judge granted the request in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday...

O’Ryan stated that he “packed all his belongings, permanently left Florida to drive across the country because be believes [Shawn] is speaking to him personally through the television via ESP and that he will be with her no matter what.”

Additionally, the request noted that O’Ryan had “two loaded guns” – a .45 caliber handgun, a loaded shotgun “and materials classically used for kidnapping including duct tape, zip ties [and] a map to the victim,” the court filing read. “Also found were love letters, clippings and other information on the victim.”

Good Lord. Us regular folks often complain about the inaccessibility of celebrities, that they often hide behind bodyguards. Well, here's why.

    Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
