Audrina Patridge's Stalker Pleads No Contest

A man arrested outside Audrina Patridge’s home has pleaded no contest to stalking “The Hills” star and will undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Deputy District Attorney Wendy Segall says Zachary Loring entered the plea Monday in Los Angeles and will undergo a 90-day diagnostic evaluation before being sentenced. If found competent, he could be sentenced to up to two years in state prison.

Patridge did not appear in court. She has previously testified in a civil restraining order hearing that she feared Loring, who police say repeatedly went to the starlet’s home and left her numerous items, including some disturbing drawings.

The 25-year-old Loring is due back in court on Sept. 20 for sentencing.

Judge to Audrina Suspect -- You Need a Shrink

Audrina Patridge's alleged stalker just tried to plead guilty in the criminal case against him -- but the judge wouldn't let him and instead ordered the guy to see a psychiatrist.

Zachary Loring -- who faces a felony stalking charge and three misdemeanors -- unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade directed at the judge during today's arraignment in an L.A. courtroom, repeatedly telling his own attorney "I'm guilty ... I stalked her."

Loring -- who has gone off on the judge before -- was removed from the court room and ordered to see two doctors who will evaluate his mental competency.

Loring is due back in court in April. He's still being held on $150,000 bail.

Audrina's Creeptastic Fan Facing Stalking Charge

Safe to say this guy's not running for The Hills—or anywhere else—anytime soon.

Zachary Loring, the dude arrested last week after showing up uninvited at Audrina Patridge's Los Angeles pad, has been charged with felony stalking, E! News confirmed.

Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, says Loring was charged with one count of felony stalking and three other misdemeanors after he decided he just couldn't stay away from the 24-year-old reality star—violating a three-year restraining order Patridge obtained in September for his allegedly creepy behavior.

Loring, 24, is currently being held on $160,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned later today. At that point, prosecutors are expected to file a motion for a more restrictive protective order.

He was found loitering outside her home last Friday and taken into custody after someone placed a 911 call.

Last fall, the judge had ordered him to stay at least 100 yards away from the Sorority Row scream queen and her brother. This after Loring turned up on several occasions at their front door last August, muttering to himself and hand delivering a stack of poems and drawings, including one of a woman being strangled.

No comment yet from Audrina's camp, but let's hope that for her peace of mind, he's kept away for good this time.
