Georgetown, TX - Authorities say a Georgetown man pleaded guilty to theft after posing as a Sony Entertainment representative on behalf of actor Tommy Lee Jones.
Williamson County Sheriff's Deputies say Michael Andrew Tissier, 21, called a clothing company and said Jones needed clothing for a fundraiser and the filming of Men in Black III.
Police say the owner became suspicious when he learned Jones was filming a movie in New Mexico and would not be attending the fundraiser.
Officers say Tissier also used a similar scam to get NFL tickets and merchandise.
Investigators in Georgetown and the Texas Rangers set up a sting operation and arrested Tissier when he tried to pick up tickets to a Philadelphia Eagles game.
