NEW YORK (AP) -- A criminal court judge has upheld charges against a Long Island man accused of stalking ``Saturday Night Live'' producer Lorne Michaels.
A misdemeanor complaint says 31-year-old Oyster Bay resident Evans Pidhajecky claimed Michaels overheard his conversations and singing and used his thoughts on the ``SNL'' show without his permission.
The complaint says an ``upset'' Pidhajecky tried to contact the 63-year-old Michaels several times at NBC's Manhattan studios and at his home to ``chat.''
Police arrested Pidhajecky in December and charged him with stalking and resisting arrest. He is free on $1,500 bail.
Manhattan Judge Marc Whiten said last week Pidhajecky's intentions were ``irrelevant'' since his actions had ``no legitimate purpose'' and alarmed Michaels.
Pidhajecky's lawyer, Peter Brill, says he disagrees with the judge.
