Authorities are apparently accusing an 42-year-old Ohio man of stalking the sister duo of Alyson Michalka, 19, and Amanda Michalka, 17, commonly known as Aly & AJ.

Rex Mettler appeared in Fairfield County Municipal Court today and pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of menacing by stalking. He was ordered to submit to a mental-health assessment and is due back in court July 3 for a preliminary hearing.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was tipped off about threats purportedly directed at the  sisters and then contacted authorities in Lancaster, Ohio, where local police took him into custody yesterday at his job at a water-bottling company.

Well hey, let’s cut him some slack, afterall he works at a water-bottling company, he was probably just bored. No, but in all seriousness, … gag.
