WASHINGTON –It’s safe to assume that Michael Dwayne Logan is no longer “enchanted”.
The 31-year-old Baltimore man was sentenced earlier this week in U.S. District Court in Washington to 21 months in prison for illegally filming the Disney motion picture “Enchanted” last year at a movie theater in the Chinatown district of Washington, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Investigators from the Motion Picture Association of America conducted a surveillance of Logan before his arrest by D.C. police last Nov. 27, authorities said.
His high-definition camera was seized and a forensic examination showed that Logan had recorded about 50 minutes of the Disney film, according to court documents.
The forensic examination also found a link between Logan’s camera and numerous other pirated films purchased on the streets of New York, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
U.S. District Judge Richard W. Roberts ordered that Logan, after serving his sentence, be placed on 12 months supervised release, during which time he must stay away from movie theaters.
