As excitement grows for this weekend's epic match up between 5th ranked Alabama and 1st ranked Mississippi State, apparently so does the demand for tickets.

In a press release T.P.D. stated,

Tuscaloosa Police arrested two suspects for selling counterfeit tickets to the upcoming Alabama VS Miss State game this afternoon (11/12/14). The arrest came after a person who bought tickets from a craigslist ad noticed the tickets did not look legit. The person contacted a Tuscaloosa Police Criminal Investigator and a deal was made to purchase more tickets from the same suspects. Patrol Officers pulled the suspects over and located 16 counterfeit tickets. Two suspects were transported to the Tuscaloosa Police Department and then placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail. Additional charges may be added at a later date.

Shannon Stanley Sizemore, 38 years old, of Panama City was charged with 16 Counts of Possession of A Forged Instrument 2nd Degree. He was placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail pending a $240,000.00 bond ($15,000.00 for each charge).
