Man arrested for selling fake Disneyland Tickets

Police released two photos of Vaughn Hutchins.

A man accused of selling fake Disneyland passes on Craigslist is being held in jail as police search for more victims.

Vaughn Michael Hutchins, 24, was arrested last Wednesday as he was selling phony Disneyland Park Hopper tickets at the Santa Ana Train Depot, according to the Santa Ana Police Department.

The man would meet up with buyers, who would then find out the tickets were invalid when they went to Disney theme parks.

UPDATE: Detective Michael Gibbons of the Santa Ana Police Department said he knows of four victims.

Gibbons said Hutchins allegedly would sell printed-out, extra copies of tickets purchased on the Internet, which are only supposed to be printed once. But buyers would find out that the tickets had already been used and were invalid.

Gibbons said Hutchins would tell victims that his son was sick and he needed to sell the tickets to get back some of his losses. But the most recent victim became suspicious when Hutchins apparently called him a second time to say that he had more tickets. The victim arranged to meet Hutchins again and called police, who arrested Hutchins at the train depot after selling the tickets, Gibbons said.

Gibbons said he found additional victims by calling people listed in Hutchins phone. Another one called Gibbons today.

Hutchins is being held at the Theo Lacy Jail in Orange on $30,000 bail, according to the Orange County Sheriffs Department Web site. His next court appearance is set for Friday.

Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown released this statement: We take matters of this nature very seriously and are working closely with law enforcement regarding this situation.

Police are looking for others who may have purchased tickets from Hutchins. They are asked to contact Gibbons at 714-245-8439.
