Phony Football Merchandise Lands Bolingbrook Man in Trouble With Law: Cops

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The Bolingbrook cops are looking to arrest a local man for allegedly possessing counterfeit NFL merchandise he planned to sell.

Glen Miller, 58, faces a single charge of the unauthorized use of a name or seal of trademark.

Miller was caught with the merchandise in January, according to a criminal complaint filed in Will County court.

The warrant for Miller’s arrest carries a $5,000 bond.

The case against Miller follows the recent arrest of a Plainfield man who allegedly possessed unlicensed sports apparel.

The Department of Homeland Security launched the investigation of 50-year-old Joseph Spinasanta after intercepting a shipment of unlicensed sports jerseys mailed from China, according to the Will County Sheriff’s Department.

Homeland Security seized a package containing a dozen jerseys, police said. Six were reportedly those of National Football League teams, four of National Hockey League teams and two of Major League Baseball teams.
