I am surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
Before I was a Dollarnaire, I was a Pennynaire, so I would go to the Flea Market a lot where they have fake everything. One day I was there trying to find an OJ Simpson throwback jersey when the flea market was raided by the cops.
When I say raided, I don’t mean like they causally walked in. They busted in CTU style guns drawn. I was able to steal a few mixtapes (that is when they were actually tapes) and porno videos before being ushered away by the cops.
Yeah I got a little off track, here is how the young ladies were caught with the fake Jordans.
Two South Carolina women were arrested during a routine traffic stop in Georgia after police allegedly found 78 pairs of counterfeit Nike Air Jordans in their car.
The arresting officer said he immediately knew the goods were fake — because the image of Michael Jordan on the sneakers had six fingers on one hand, local news station WSB reported Tuesday.
Not only was the graphic of Jordan anatomically incorrect, but the logos were easily peeled off the boxes, and the serial numbers on the shoes’ tongues did not match those on the boxes they were stored in, according to Gwinnett County Police Department officer Nicholas Boney.
Boney said he also found a counterfeit pair of Ugg boots and a fake Louis Vuitton bag in the vehicle, bringing the total retail value of the goods to more than $12,000.
Kotina Lashan Feaster and Jessica Pennick were charged with a felony for having forged or counterfeit goods Saturday.
Sounds about right.
When I worked in a Call Center……….
Never mind.
