LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) Police in Gwinnett County say a man accused in an alleged Super Bowl ticket scam has been arrested in California.
Gwinnett County police said in a news release Wednesday that at least six people reported that 48-year-old Ketan Shah offered to sell them Super Bowl tickets, and one said he paid $500,000 dollars for his company to host a Super Bowl event at an arena. Shah then disappeared. Earlier news reports about Shah said he even bilked his own mother out of thousands of dollars.
Shah owned a digital print shop in Norcross.
He was arrested in Riverside County, California, after a casino worker recognized him from news coverage of the alleged scam and called police.
Shah faces a felony theft charge, but police say the investigation continues and more charges will be added.
Shah was being held in California until he can be brought back to Georgia.
