Man charged with selling phony Duke-UNC basketball tickets

A Durham man has been charged with trying to sell counterfeit tickets to Duke’s game at North Carolina on March 4, and police are trying to determine if he sold more.

Adam Sanchez, 25, was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and criminal use of counterfeit trademark, both felonies.

Carrboro police say one of their investigators noticed a suspicious post on Craigslist and contacted the seller. When they met, the investigator determined that the tickets were counterfeit, and Sanchez was arrested.

Police are trying to determine if anyone had purchased bogus tickets from Sanchez before his arrest.
