Charge Those Tickets to Uncle Sam, Please

Another wonderful story from the annals of government purchase card abuse: Tristin Napoleon Watson of Maricopa, Ariz., was sentenced this week to six months in federal prison for lying to investigators about using a federal purchase card to buy $2,678.95 worth of pro football tickets (and a parking pass), the Arizona Daily Star reports.

The kicker? Watson's not even a federal employee. He was found to have used a card issued to an employee at the Tucson Federal Correctional Institution to buy the tickets. Two Bureau of Prisons employees were investigated in connection with the incident, but they were cleared.
