According to court records in Tarrant County, an employee of AT&T Stadium in Arlington was taken into custody on Sunday on suspicion of allowing unticketed football fans entry to a highly anticipated game in return for monetary bribes.
On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys stunned the Philadelphia Eagles with a 33-12 victory, and over 90,000 fans came out to support the team. But officials say that not all visitors to Jerry World paid to enter.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram claims that 19-year-old ticket inspector Diego Soto is now facing charges related to allowing individuals entry to the stadium in exchange for cash, which he then took for himself. Who exactly benefited from the purported arrangement in terms of admissions is unknown.
According to the daily, Soto confessed to receiving money from fans in order to get them entry to the game during questioning by Arlington police.
Following this, Soto was taken into custody by the Tarrant County Jail on charges of commercial bribery, a felony punishable by state prison, according to court records. He has subsequently posted a bond of $1,500.
