Kelly Haggard, of Commerce, pleaded guilty to mail fraud in October 2011. He had digital reproductions made of horror posters and lobby cards, and sold them over the Internet for $500 to $5,000 apiece, prosecutors said in a statement announcing his sentencing.
Haggard cheated about 25 victims of more than $1.3 million in money and property, prosecutors said. He was ordered to pay $1.38 million in restitution.
