The streets—primarily those around his office—are once again safe for Ryan Seacrest.
A judge has granted the E! News anchor a permanent restraining order against Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr., the knife-wielding Seacrest obsessive who bum-rushed his radio studio last month.
The much-needed order prevents the 25-year-old Army-shaming Uzomah from coming within 100 yards of Seacrest, his home, his car and all of his ever-increasing places of business for the next three years. He is also to refrain from having any direct or indirect contact with the pervasive personality.
As it is, it's the second such order to be placed against the man on behalf of our fearless leader: In the immediate aftermath of the would-be Oct. 30 meeting, Seacrest obtained a temporary restraining order against Uzomah.
Uzomah, who pleaded not guilty to felony stalking, remains in custody on $150,000 bail. If convicted on all three counts, he faces up to four years in prison.
