MIAMI, Fla. (WFLA) — A 44-year-old man was arrested Friday for impersonating a security guard to get into the Taylor Swift concert in Miami, according to an arrest report.

Ivan Mariotti, of Key Biscayne, allegedly posed as security, dressed in a blue suit with a gold badge over his neck at Hard Rock Stadium. He was reportedly near the floor and field area.

The report said when an officer asked Mariotti why he was wearing a badge, he told them he was hired by four women to work as a security guard, telling officials he worked for multiple security companies.

He then told the officer he didn’t have tickets, but got in after he escorted “those “his four clients” to their seats.

The arrest report said the women told the officer their aunt confirmed to authorities that she had hired a driver for the concert— not a security guard— so they weren’t sure why Mariotti had a badge. In the report, Mariotti’s occupation is listed as “Uber driver.”

According to court records, Mariotti was arrested on charges of falsely impersonating an officer and interfering with an entertainment event. He is also being held on a warrant for immigration and has no bond.
