CHICAGO — Police said they've nabbed a West Englewood man yet again for selling fake Bears tickets this year.

George Huff, 25, of the 5500 block of South Loomis Street, was charged with four felony counts of forgery, according to police.

He was arrested in the 5500 block of South Laflin Street on Tuesday and identified in a photo array by people who bought the phony Bears tickets, according to Officer Michael Sullivan, a police spokesman.

Huff has previously been accused of selling fake Bears and Blackhawks tickets several times in the past year, authorities said.

On Sept 5., Huff was arrested in the 1200 block of South Wabash Avenue for selling fake Bears tickets, police said. He was charged with three counts of forgery. 

Police said he sold fake Bears tickets on Aug. 28 in the 1200 block of South Wabash Avenue. Authorities also charged him for allegedly selling counterfeit Blackhawks tickets in the 3600 block of South Wentworth Avenue outside U.S. Cellular Field in May.

Huff is expected to appear in bond court on Wednesday.
