University student charged and booked for six counts of theft for counterfeiting
Students who purchased LSU-Alabama tickets from University student Brittany Dillon, 23, were not able to enter the Nov. 8 game because their tickets allegedly had been used.
LSUPD spokesperson Capt. Cory Lalonde said officers discovered through investigation that Dillon had reproduced her student ticket and sold copies to other students, which is why the tickets did not work at the gate.
Lalonde said officers obtained an arrest warrant for Dillon after they were able to identify her.
Police located and spoke to Dillon on Nov. 25, when she admitted to selling her ticket multiple times.
Lalonde said Dillon was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
