Last year, a viral story made the rounds, of a Taylor Swift fan who got a job as a security guard at a concert venue so they could see an Eras Tour concert. Well, another fan tried something similar, except they went in a more deceptive route and ended up getting arrested.
Per NBC 6 South Florida, a 44-year-old man named Ivan Mariotti was arrested on charges of falsely impersonating an officer and interference with an entertainment event after pulling a stunt at one of Swift’s recent shows in Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
Per an arrest report, Mariotti was seen in the venue, wearing a badge. An officer asked why he had the badge, and Mariotti claimed he had been hired by four women to work as a security guard, saying he escorted the women to their seats but didn’t have a ticket himself. When confronted, the women said their aunt had hired a driver for the concert, and they weren’t sure why Mariotti had a badge.
Mariotti was arrested and booked, and while he was later granted a $1,500 bond, he was being held on an immigration hold.
