COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A Burnside man has been charged with selling bogus tickets to Tuesday night's AC/DC show at Wrigley Field.
"I heard it was a good concert," Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas told Terry Prince, 21, on Wednesday as he stood before her for a bond hearing in the Leighton Criminal Courthouse.
According to prosecutors, a would-be concertgoer flagged down police Tuesday evening after the tickets he bought from Prince two days earlier didn't work. Court records show the victim paid $200. He was turned away at the door.
Ariel Cheung says most neighbors took the loud concern in stride:
Police worked with the man to set up another meeting with Prince — this time at a 7-Eleven in the 3500 block of North Sheffield Avenue.
When police tried to arrest Prince, he hopped a gangway and tried to run away, Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said in court Wednesday.
Several pedestrians tried to stop Prince, Scaduto said. He eventually purposefully ran straight into a police officer, knocking the officer to the ground. Prince fell on top of the officer and was arrested about 5:40 p.m., court records show.
Prince, of the 500 block of East 87th Place, was charged with theft, resisting arrest and aggravated battery to a peace officer.
Prince's public defender said Prince works at a hair salon and barber shop. Judge Chiampas on Wednesday ordered Prince held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
