3 Arrested For Using Stolen Grammy Passes
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
Police say three people have been arrested on suspicion of using stolen passes to get access to the Grammy Awards.
Sebastian Bonner, 20, of Murrieta was arrested Sunday after he tried to enter the event at Staples Center using one of nine stolen identification passes to get access to all areas, police said. One of the stolen passes belonged to a security guard.
Bonner, along with Los Angeles residents Courtney Mitchell, 30, and Pamela Clay, 44, were arrested for investigation of receiving stolen property after being found with someone else's event ID card.
Police believe the motive for the theft was a desire to see celebrities, not terrorism.
