A man wanted for allegedly selling fake tickets to shows at Allpharetta's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was arrested Friday night and jailed.

U.S. marshals and Atlanta police officers arrested Douglas Sneed, 29, at his house.

Executive officer George Gordon of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety had said Sneed has sold dozens of counterfeit concert tickets in person and on online social network sites.

A person claiming to be one of Sneed's victims posted an angry warning on the Internet site for Craig's List. The writer said he bought "bogus" concert tickets from Sneed.

The writer's warning was typed in all capital letters.

"IF HE RIPPED YOU OFF, PLEASE FILE A POLICE REPORT!" according to the posting. "BEWARE."
