Big week for Audrina Patridge—Sorority Row premiere, Maxim cover, live-tweeting with E! Online...a stalker scare?In documents filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Patridge's lawyers requested an order of protection on behalf of the reality starlet and her roommate-brother, Mark, against a guy named Zachary Loering.
"I can confirm that Audrina Patridge filed a restraining order against an overzealous fan," her rep confirms to E! News. "Audrina and her family have no relationship with this person."
Court docs state that on Aug. 26, Patridge and her makeup artist sibling answered a knock at her front door to find Loring with a stack of poems, pictures and cards he had made for her—including one drawing of a woman being strangled, ominously scrawled with the future date, Sept. 15, 2009.
And it gets creepier.
Loring, 24, proceeded to offer Patridge a beer, telling her it was from his family's brewery and asking her to drink it in front of him. Patridge declined and shut the door, but three days later her surveillance cameras captured Loring camped out on her porch from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m., talking to himself throughout the footage, according to the court docs.
The following day, per the Patridges, the new scream-queen found Loring sitting on a wall on the side of her house, dressed to the nines in a suit and tie.
This time Audrina reported the incident, with police officers arresting Loring for outstanding warrants and trespassing. Loring, who was arrested in July on a switchblade-possession count, was released from jail a day later.
The 24-year-old Patridge "is in fear for her physical safety and emotional well being" and is so frightened, she hasn't been staying at her home or in Los Angeles County, the petition states.
The court granted a temporary order of protection, barring Loring from contacting, harassing, or trying to locate Patridge. He must be a minimum of 100 yards away at all times.
A hearing is scheduled on Sept. 30.
