Woman Charged With Taping 'Twilight' At Theater

ROSEMONT, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A Northwest Side woman was arrested Saturday afternoon after employees of a Rosemont movie theater allegedly caught her taping portions of "Twilight: New Moon" on a digital camera.

Samantha Tumpach, 22, of the 3800 block of Odell Avenue, is charged with one count of criminal use of a motion picture exhibition, a Class 4 felony, according to Rosemont police Sgt. Keith Kania.

The incident happened Saturday about 1:20 p.m. at the Muvico Theater, 9701 Bryn Mawr Ave., according to Kania.

An usher allegedly saw Tumpach recording the movie and alerted management, which did not initially see the woman recording, Kania said. However, when they came back to investigate, they noticed she was recording the movie on a digital camera.

Management contacted police and the woman was taken into custody.

She appeared in court Saturday in Rolling Meadows and was released on a $10,000 individual recognizance bond, according to Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin. She will appear for a preliminary hearing Dec. 17 in Rolling Meadows.

It appeared Tumpach recorded less than four minutes of the film before she was caught, according to Kania.
