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 Florida resident 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 next Thursday.

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

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

Johnson is a 17-year-old Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, and one of the celebrity contestants on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

O'Ryan is being held on $35,000 bail on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public. Court records do not indicate whether O'Ryan has a lawyer.
