The two protesters who stormed the stage following Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke’s performance during week one of Dancing With the Stars have officially been charged, ET has learned.
The City Attorney’s Office filed criminal complaints on Tuesday against Sam Sotoodeh, 59, and Barzeen Soroudi, 25, who were wearing anti-Lochte T-shirts and did not have tickets to the ABC taping when they were booked for trespassing. Both men could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Their arraignment is scheduled for next Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Sources close to production told ET that security at DWTS is still tight following the incident that occurred earlier this month.
“Security guards stand in the ballroom in the back of the audience, walking down the aisles and circling the dance floor during the commercial breaks,” a source inside the ballroom confirmed.
Thank goodness security is still tight and I hope they keep it that way. More at Entertainment Tonight.
I didn’t realize that the guys just walked in, and that they didn’t have tickets. Interesting.
Yeah, that’s………..strange to say the least. So they got onto the lot, into the building and onto the ballroom set, all without tickets. Wow.
That’s what I was thinking – how the hell did they get onto the lot and into that sound stage? Unless they have friends that work there. Security was a little slow on the ball – the minute their foot touched the stage they should have been out of there instead of being able to walk right up to Tom, Ryan and Cheryl.
No tickets? Wow
Sounds like a wake-up call was necessary, security-wise and all parties very fortunate no one was injured or worse.
Wow… interesting things…
