Police arrest man suspected of stalking Dr. Drew

[March 05, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Police say they have arrested a man suspected of stalking television and radio therapist Dr. Drew Pinsky and his family.

Pasadena police say they arrested 33-year-old Charles Pearson on Wednesday after Pinsky notified them of threats received by him and his family.

Jail records show Pearson is being held on $150,000 bail.

Police say Pearson is suspected of posting threats online about Pinsky and showed up at a Los Angeles radio station recently.

Pinsky is an addiction specialist who hosts the radio show "Loveline" on Los Angeles' KROQ 106.7. He also hosts several VH1 reality shows, including "Celebrity Rehab."

Jail records do not indicate if Pearson has an attorney.
