Two Men Busted For Selling Counterfeit DISTURBED Shirts

May 2, 2009

Don Lehman of PostStar.com reports that two men were arrested on felony counterfeiting charges because, police said, they were caught selling bootleg T-shirts outside the Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, New York after Monday night's (April 27) Music as a Weapon IV concert (featuring DISTURBED, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LACUNA COIL and CHIMAIRA).

The men were charged after two plainclothes Glens Falls police officers saw them selling T-shirts outside the Civic Center when the only authorized sales were taking place inside the building, said Glens Falls Police Capt. Will Valenza.

The officers confiscated 100 or so T-shirts, most of them bearing the name of the show's headlining act, DISTURBED. The counterfeit shirts were selling for $10 outside while the legitimate ones brought $30 each, Valenza said.
