Man accused of recording film on cell phone at Arcadia theater
ARCADIA -- An Arcadia man was arrested early Friday on suspicion of using a cell phone to record a portion of "The Devil Inside" at an opening night showing at the AMC Santa Anita 16 movie theater.
Michael Johnson, 29, was booked on suspicion of operating a recording device inside a movie theater -- a misdemeanor -- and released less than an hour later after posting $2,500 bail, according to Arcadia police officials and county booking records.
Employees called police about 1:30 a.m. to report a man had recorded a portion of the horror movie at the theater, 400 S. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia police Lt. Roy Nakamura said.
He was found to have about three minutes of the film recorded on his cell phone, the lieutenant said.
"He said he was taking the footage for his wife who was home sick," Nakamura added.
But regardless of the reason, "It is against the law," he said.
