Scalpers Ticketed For Trespass
West Virginia University has a novel approach to curbing ticket scalpers despite a lack of state laws addressing the problem – ticket them for trespassing.
Monongalia County Magistrate Jim Nabors recently found Timothy Cohen guilty of trespassing and fined him $100. Nabors said the trespassing charge stemmed from ticket scalping, according to the Morgantown, W.V., Dominion-Post.
WVU Police chief Bob Roberts told the paper his department issues five or six trespassing citations annually during football and basketball seasons. It takes three encounters with campus police to earn a ticket.
