Kim Maciaz, 38, and Megan Chenier, 22, were arrested Sunday after police searched their home at 1800 Seville Road and found thousands of DVDs, computers and other equipment that could be used for copying movies, according to a criminal complaint. Police obtained a warrant to search the home at the request of a private investigator who was working for the Motion Picture Association of America, based in California.
The two women were charged with failure to disclose the manufacturer of recordings -- a charge that Marathon County District Attorney Ken Heimerman said he can't recall seeing in more than 20 years working as a prosecutor here. If convicted of the felony charge, the women face six-year prison sentences and $10,000 fines.
