Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker has been arrested after entering the E! Entertainment building Friday. Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. tried to meet the multi-tasking host while armed with a knife at the cable TV's facility in Los Angeles.

Uzomah, 25, is being held by police on suspicion of felony stalking. His bail is set on $150,000.

He is currently on probation for misdemeanor assault and battery and switchblade possession after he attacked a security guard who was walking Seacrest to his car last month. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years of probation.

A court hearing on whether to grant a three-year restraining order against the alleged stalker is set for November 17.
