Onetime Univ. of Minn. ticketing director, now in prison, skimmed $361K to feed gambling addiction

The amount of money a former University of Minnesota ticketing director skimmed from his employer during his long-running scheme topped $360,000 and fed his gambling addiction, according to court documents filed shortly before a federal judge sentenced him to prison.

Brent A. Holck, 37, of Maple Grove, reported Monday for prison, where he’ll remain for 21 months after pleading guilty to siphoning money from April 2012 to January 2017.

Along with his prison time, two years of supervised release and 100 hours of community service, Holck must repay $361,336.15 to the U, according to sentencing documents filed in federal court in Minneapolis.

Public records show Holck was earning more than $90,000 in annual base salary as of 2015, overseeing sales to games, concerts and other campus events.
