That's him, my first post was not at all accurate. Thought they said he was from Southgate which is a long way from Warren, and his last name was DeSoto, sorry, I tuned in mid broadcast but I did know they arrested someone.

Is this the same guy?

Justin Anthony Gnesotto, of Warren, was arrested by Ferndale police Tuesday and arraigned today in front of Magistrate James Brennan in the Ferndale District Court on one count of false pretenses of more than $200 but less than $1,000, according to court officials.

Bond was set at $5,000, and Gnesotto, 26, was released after posting $500.

It is unclear how many fake tickets he may have sold for the sold-out show on Saturday where attendance was about 60,000.

If convicted, Gnesotto will face up to one year in jail with a possible $2,000 fine. His pre-trial conference will be Jan 27 in Ferndale

This may be out in left field, but I wonder if their interest is more towards the machinery or programs that can print such real looking tickets, most of the time if you get scalped, they could care less, I just wonder if it has anything w/ concern for counterfeiting money. Wouldn't know, crazy choice, I know, but I don't choose to rip people off.
