Columbus Man Charged With Failing To Sell OSU Tickets

Columbus Division of Police

A Columbus man is due to appear in court today on charges of pretending to sell Ohio State football tickets. Police recently arrested Martin Alper after he allegedly took money for tickets but failed to meet the person who made the purchase. Investigators are searching for other possible victims. Police say Alper has been using a fake name, Mark Dinardo. He was charged for a similar scam in 2007.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
