SAVANNAH, Ga. - A 53-year-old man pleaded guilty yesterday to resisting police outside the set of a Miley Cyrus movie on the Georgia coast after prosecutors dropped charges that he tried to stalk the teen pop star.

Mark McLeod, who told police he was engaged to marry the 16-year-old “Hannah Montana” star, was sentenced by a State Court judge to two years probation and was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. He was also banished from Savannah and surrounding Chatham County and ordered to stay away from Cyrus and her family.

District Attorney Larry Chisolm issued a statement saying prosecutors dropped attempted stalking charges against McLeod because they lacked evidence that his “attempt to reach or follow Miley Cyrus was different than the hundreds of other fans.”

He also said authorities had to consider the safety of Cyrus and other citizens without overreacting because a celebrity was involved.
