Men arrested in JLO sting



Two men have been arrested for trying to sell Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez's stolen wedding video back to the couple for $1 million dollars. First, the men tried to sell the video to People, Us Weekly and Access Hollywood to no avail.

Tito Moses, 31, and Steven Wortman, 49, were arraigned earlier this week on charges of conspiracy, attempted grand larceny and possession of stolen property. A copy of the couple's wedding video was on a laptop in Anthony's car when it was stolen in New Jersey last year. Once they failed to sell the video to the media, they called Marc Anthony Productions and tried to sell it back to him!

An NYPD detective posing as an Anthony associate engaged in a series of negotiations with Moses and Wortman between Dec. 20 and Dec. 27, during which the men demanded $1 million for the laptop, the complaint said.

At one point the detective refused the $1 million demand and Wortman threatened to destroy it, the complaint said.

Moses and Wortman were arrested in a sting Tuesday when they allegedly met with police to sell the laptop for a lesser amount.
