Overview
- Leicester police arrested Robert Cheevers at his East Boston home after a months-long probe into reports he sold fake discounted tickets to pro games.
- He faces a charge of larceny over $1,200 by a single scheme, with additional warrants from Newburyport for the same offense and from Clark County, Nevada for alleged burglary, felony theft, and passing insufficient-funds checks.
- Court records say one victim paid about $600 in late 2024 for four Bruins tickets that never arrived after Cheevers claimed ties to the team.
- A separate Newburyport complaint alleges a $48,000 loss after Cheevers borrowed money and did not repay it, according to the statement of facts filed in court.
- Cheevers pleaded not guilty in East Brookfield District Court and is held on cash bail at the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, with the Bruins stating his claim to get reduced-price alumni tickets was untrue and police urging victims to come forward.
