Re: Counterfeit Fair Fun Passes Being Sold

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is warning anyone who may attend the Four States Fair to purchase ride tickets or "Fun Passes" from Fair box offices only, or from the carnival management office.

Recently, officers and Fair officials have come into contact with several individuals who have purchased forged "Fun Passes" only to later discover that they will not be allowed into the Fair.

We believe at this time that these items are being sold at a "discounted" price and at this point several of the individuals that have been in possession of the forged passes have been juveniles.

Police have obtained a suspect description and are attempting to locate the individual at this time. The suspect is believed to be a juvenile student at a local school.

Thank you and you can visit the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department online at http://www.txkusa.org/arkpolice.
