Police have arrested a suspect they believed pulled off a scam that duped hundreds of people out of a Lil’ Jon concert in Fargo, North Dakota.

Scott Elkins, 31, was arrested on felony theft charges on Wednesday. Police said Elkins is a former radio DJ from Texas known as Hollywood Haze.

Police tracked Elkins’ credit card to a Nebraska hotel and found him with $500 in cash and evidence that indicated he planned the scam in other cities.

Lil' Jon said that he had no knowledge of the scam, but assured fans that when an offical show was booked on his behalf, he always shows up.

"I just want to tell our fans we love them," Lil' Jon told AllHipHop.com. "If we say we are going to do something, we gonna do it."

Officials believe that Elkins impersonated a representative for Lil’ Jon using the alias “Peter Schwartz” and scammed fans out of $12,000 in ticket sales.

Police said Elkins insisted that Lil’ Jon was coming to Fargo, claiming that he could call the mysterious “Peter Schwartz” and have the whole issue put to rest.

Employees at stores where tickets were sold picked Elkins out of a police lineup and identified him as the man who pulled up in a white limousine to collect the tickets proceeds.

Officials stated they would prosecute Elkins to the legal limits of the law.
