Studio guard got stolen property
A former movie studio security guard pleaded no contest to receiving custom-made Spider-Man and Batman suits stolen from Warner Bros. and Sony Studios and was sentenced to nine months in County Jail.
L.A. County Deputy Dist. Atty. Donald Tamura said former security guard Jeffrey Glenn Gustafson was placed on formal probation for five years and ordered to pay restitution of about $93,000. Gustafson, 36, of Burbank worked as a security guard for Warner Bros. in 1996 and for Sony until January 2001.
Another defendant, 35-year-old Robert Hughes of Los Angeles, pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to 30 days of community service and placed on two years’ probation, Tamura said.
