Travel Agent Arrested for Selling Fake Plane Tickets

A woman who operated a Sweetwater, Fla. travel agency was jailed after allegedly selling thousands of dollars of fake plane tickets to Nicaragua. Ruth Morales, owner of the Nicaraguita Travel Agency was charged with five counts of grand theft and fraud.

Morales is believed to be a flight risk and her bail was raised from $25,000 to $150,000. Morales allegedly bilked a half-dozen customers by booking the flights, asking the customer to call the airline and verify the flights, then canceling the trip and pocketing the money.
