Knoxville Man Arrested and Charged for Impersonating a Security Guard at the Tennessee Valley Fair

A Knoxville man is arrested after authorities say he impersonated a security guard at the Tennessee Valley Fair.

31-year-old Luke Jones went to the Tennessee Valley Fair on September 9th and said he was working security for the event.

Jones then walked up to a sold out concert being held that night and went behind the barricades and through private doors and hallways to get backstage at the amphitheater.

Police say Jones told other staff that he was working security for the event which they determined he was lying about as well as being a security guard. He surrendered to police at his home a few days later.

Jones was charged with criminal trespass, impersonating a licensed professional and theft.
