So the dude who ran a ticket scam on Georgia fans last year with a fake Notre Dame offer decided to skip being sentenced to 180 days in jail, was captured on the lam and will now have a sentence of 1 to 5 years tacked on for escape. Brilliant!
The topper is that he apparently went back to the well.
He also has another tickets charge coming his way.
“Because of the publicity surrounding this case, we heard from another man who said he paid for tickets to the LSU game and never received them,” Sills said. “So apparently Mr. Cook didn’t learn his lesson. I’m going to charge him for that one, too.”
Okay, so a criminal mastermind he’s not, but after the publicity surrounding the Notre Dame fraud, there’s a Georgia fan out there who evidently isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, either. Sometimes Google can be your friend, ‘ya know?
He should have watched “Catch me if you can”. He would have known to buy a bunch of little Pan Am jets and take the decals off to make fake checks. Then cash the checks, become a pilot and fly off to some location with pretty stewardesses. Stupid guy.

Yep. Some folks have more money than brains. That’s a heck of drive for the Putnam County SO to go pick up Mr. Cook. I don’t imagine the judge is going to be very happy at his next sentencing.

That sheriff at Putnam CO looks like someone you don’t want to mess with.
