Montco Cops Save Us From Fake Jordans

Detectives in Montgomery County arrested a Souderton store owner for allegedly selling fake Nike Air Jordans and Air Force Ones. And detectives didn’t even need to use a confidential informant to make a controlled buy — they were able to just do it themselves!

Montgomery County’s Justin Coale, 28, is charged with selling counterfeit shoes and compact discs at his Main Street store. The District Attorney Risa Ferman tells us it’s important to prosecute copyright infringement cases in a criminal manner for some reason: “When consumers go into a store expecting to buy a pair of Nikes they expect a particular quality of product. When they purchase these fakes — and that’s what they are, they are just fakes — they’re not getting that quality of product.”

Frankly, I just can’t believe there were no fake Nike Dunks. Or maybe that $500 pair of sneakers. Who wears Jordans anymore? Or maybe Montgomery County is just stuck in 1992.
