Los Angeles County

Man Sentenced in Disneyland Ticket Scam

A Pasadena man was sentenced to two years behind bars and ordered to pay more than $2,400 in restitution to consumers who bought what turned out to be fraudulent tickets to Disneyland, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Brian Edward Anderton, 43, pleaded guilty Thursday to one felony count of grand theft and four misdemeanor counts of petty theft.

Anderton pocketed more than $2,400 from five people between January and August after advertising Disneyland tickets for sale through the craigslist website, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors said the ticket-buyers learned the tickets were invalid when they arrived at the Anaheim amusement park.
