Infamous 'Gate Crasher' Arrested At Pepsi Center

DENVER (CBS4) ― An individual who has become known for crashing major sporting events, political events and entertainment events was arrested in Denver and is now facing charges.

Jerry Berliant was caught trying to sneak into the NCAA tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

Berliant goes by the nickname "Jerry the Gate Crasher."

Denver police arrested Berliant Thursday night when he used a fake press pass to get into the Pepsi Center. Police said they found much more incriminating evidence after searching him.

"After the officers contacted him, they were able to determine, wow there are many, many more fake business cards with his name on it," Det. John White with Denver police said. "Different professions, other media and press credentials. So this guy was an expert."

Berliant has been spotted at events including Super Bowls, prize fights and the Oscars. He has even bragged that he crashed the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
