Uzomah is accused of stalking Seacrest between September 15 and October 30 -- the day he was arrested at the E! building where Ryan does a daily radio and TV show.
If convicted, he faces a maximum of four years in state prison.

TMZ has learned Chidi Uzomah -- the man who showed up with a knife to see Ryan Seacrest at work today -- is now being held on felony stalking charges, and that gives Ryan some breathing room.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD has decided Uzomah is a real danger to Seacrest. By holding him on felony stalking, cops have some breathing room to hold Uzomah in custody ... mainly because he was caught with a knife.

The man accused of stalking Tyra Banks has been sentenced to catwalk in jail.
A judge in NYC convicted Brady Green of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment. His sentencing is scheduled for June. Green faces up to 90 days in jail.
Green's lawyer says he plans to appeal.
UPDATE: The way we hear it, the restraining order against Green has been extended, and as long as he stays away from Tyra he will not serve any jail time come his sentencing date. That can and will change if Green violates the order.

We've learned why Derek Fisher couldn't get a restraining order against his alleged stalker a few years back -- she disappeared before cops could do their thing.
Derek filed papers against Symone Anastasia back in March of '06 -- claiming Symone wouldn't stop sending him a flurry of mail and faxes -- she even called his mother.
The case was dropped after Symone disappeared, temporarily moving out of the L.A. area.
Derek was more successful this week. As we first reported, he scored a restraining order, after alleging Symone had become dangerous and delusional.

TMZ has obtained the restraining order against the woman accused of stalking Tyler Perry -- and the document is nothing short of shocking .... the alleged stalker saying Tyler is a candidate for murder.
As we first reported, Dawne Wilson was arrested for aggravated stalking Wednesday outside Perry's production studios in Atlanta ... a place where she's been an unwelcome visitor many times before.
The restraining order, obtained by TMZ, claims in March, 2008, Dawne Wilson began contacting Perry by computer "in a menacing manner," causing Perry to fear "apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury."
According to the docs, in April, 2008, Wilson sent another e-mail saying "You need to check your heart condition because it is filled with murder....your love has been but costly and deadly....Murder I say is the verdict."
Wilson rambled on, "Why do you insist on assisting the devil?"
Wilson was taken into custody after showing up at Perry's recording studio last Wednesday, in violation of the restraining order.

TMZ has obtained photos of Robert O'Ryan -- the man accused of stalking Shawn Johnson. You will see him in court shortly, and he now looks more like Charles Manson than the clean cut dude you're looking at.
O'Ryan, 34, was arrested Tuesday morning after trying to sneak on to the set of "Dancing With the Stars," allegedly with two loaded guns and duct tape in his car.
He has been charged with one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle.
As for who O'Ryan is....he lived in a trailer park in Yulee, Florida. He got an mechanical engineering degree from the University of Florida. But things didn't go well. He was reclusive and walked with a cane after a bad car accident. He wouldn't even go to the pot luck dinners. He ended up abandoning the trailer and moving in with his mom. Neighbors there say the last time they saw him -- 3 weeks ago -- he was talking to a tree.

Shawn Johnson's alleged stalker, Robert O'Ryan, has just been charged with one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle.
TMZ broke the story that O'Ryan was arrested early Tuesday morning on the CBS lot -- during a "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal -- after security confronted him and found out he had two loaded firearms in his car, along with duct tape and love letters to Shawn.
He is currently being held on $35,000 bail. With the charges just filed by the L.A. County District Attorney, prosecutors will ask that bail be upped to $220,000.
In the charges, the D.A. claims O'Ryan "willfully and maliciously" harassed Shawn Johnson and made "a credible threat with the intent that SHE be placed in reasonable fear for HER safety..."
O'Ryan allegedly drove from his home in Florida to meet Johnson, with whom he felt a psychic connection.
