Los Angeles, Aug 8 (IANS) Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock has obtained a permanent restraining order against a man accused for stalking her seven years ago.
A Los Angeles judge issued the order against stalker Thomas James Weldon, banning him from approaching the Oscar-winning actress, her adopted son and her three former stepchildren. The order will remain in place for three years, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Bullock, who didn’t attend the Los Angeles hearing, first obtained a restraining order against Weldon in 2003. The order was extended but expired in 2009 because he was being held in a Tennessee mental hospital.

According to Bullock’s attorney, Ed McPherson, Weldon travelled to Wyoming in an alleged attempt to meet the “The Proposal” actress once he was released earlier this year.

McPherson said: “It’s obvious that this fixation on her has not changed despite seven years in the hospital in Tennessee.”
