Greyhound Station Agent Arrested for Selling Fake Tickets to Travelers

On February 19, 2026, Raymond "Ray" Hollis Beaudry — a nineteen-year senior ticket agent at the Crossland Coach Lines terminal on Second Street SW in Albuquerque, New Mexico — pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico to one count of wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and one count of aggravated identity theft under 18 U.S.C. § 1028A after a joint investigation by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service uncovered a systematic ticket fraud scheme spanning from March 2021 to August 2024. Operating as the sole overnight lead agent with exclusive access to the terminal's ticket stock, thermal printer, and reservation system, Beaudry printed counterfeit receipts for cash-paying passengers on routes where drivers verified tickets by visual inspection only, pocketing fares entirely and bypassing the central booking database across an estimated 1,400 fraudulent transactions totaling $187,400. The scheme deliberately targeted agricultural workers, elderly riders, Spanish-speaking customers, and passengers on Mexican-issued transfer tickets. A spiral notebook recovered from his terminal locker — twenty-two handwritten pages tracking each sale, route code, and whether a stop used visual or barcode verification — served as the smoking gun. Judge Eleanor Quintana-Marsh sentenced Beaudry to 38 months at FCI La Tuna, $187,400 in restitution, and a permanent bar from interstate passenger transportation employment. Among the named victims, a 71-year-old woman traveling to a funeral in Tulsa was stranded overnight at the Amarillo terminal when a driver refused to honor her printed receipt. - - Disclaimer: This video is a dramatization based on real events.
