Chicagoan gets jail for selling fake Packers tickets

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Associated Press

A Chicago man convicted of selling fake Green Bay Packers tickets has been sentenced to five months in jail in Wisconsin.

Donnie Latham, 27, will get credit for 112 days he’s already spent behind bars.

Latham was arrested in January for selling counterfeit tickets before a playoff game. A fan who bought tickets from Latham called authorities after discovering they were fake.

Brown County Circuit Judge Kendall Kelley on Tuesday also sentenced Latham to five years probation, ordered him to do 25 hours of community service in Green Bay, and to stay away from Lambeau Field.
