Two Sweet Home men are charged with stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of Oregon Jamboree tickets, accused of dumpster-diving to retrieve them after the janitorial staff accidentally threw them away.

Some of the tickets reportedly ended up for sale at half price on Facebook Marketplace.

The longstanding annual event, which was held earlier this month, bills itself as the Northwest’s premier country music festival.

In late June, authorities said, Jamboree staff discovered they were missing more than $8,000 in event ticket wristbands — a dozen orders in total.

An investigation into the missing orders led police to arrest William Henry King Jr., 45, who is charged with first-degree theft and second-degree trespassing, and Thomas Ray Pimentel, 26, charged with first-degree theft and misdemeanor meth possession.

Searching Facebook Marketplace, police found an advertisement for Jamboree tickets at nearly half price, according to the affidavit, which alleges the post was made by Pimentel.

When officers confronted Pimentel about the tickets he was selling on Facebook, he told them he traded King a mountain bike and a few other items for the wristbands, the affidavit states.

Pimentel turned over a boxed order he said he got from King, which contained six general admission tickets and four pit passes for the event, totaling more than $1,900 in value. When Pimentel was arrested, he allegedly had 9 grams of meth, baggies and a scale in his possession.

Police later caught up with King, who allegedly admitted to taking the bags from the Jamboree’s trash and finding the dozen sealed orders inside, according to the affidavit. King said he used the orders as forms of payment to people with whom he was crossing paths.

Pimentel’s sister told police he gave her one of the stolen wristbands to repay her for bailing him out of jail.
