HOUSTON -- Paul Broft and Brendan Gibbins had a worse weekend than their
beloved New England Patriots at Sunday’s Super Bowl in Houston.
They learned when they tried to enter Reliant Stadium on Sunday that the
tickets they bought from two men were bogus.
But their fortunes looked up as they awaited their flight home to Boston
Monday afternoon at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. They
recognized two men waiting to board their flight as the ones they say
sold them the fake tickets for $2800.
So Broft and Gibbins called police.
Bruce Smith of Providence, Rhode Island, and Steven Ross of Boston are
charged with theft, punishable by up to two years in state jail. Each is
free on $2000 bail. Their attorneys say their clients are innocent of
any wrongdoing.
