Authorities have arrested an Augusta man Friday after he was caught selling counterfeit items from the back of his car.
Demetries Cathalow Banks, 36, of Bellemeade Drive, is charged with counterfeiting trademarked items, according to Richmond County sheriff's Investigator Shane McDaniel.
A sheriff's deputy witnessed Mr. Banks, who is an employee of the Department of Family and Children Services, selling the items from the back of a van in the 1700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Wednesday night, a sheriff's report states.
Inside the van, deputies reportedly found 83 counterfeit Gucci, Coach and other designer purses.
They also found more than 3,000 copied DVDs and CDs, and designer wallets, according to the report. Investigators awaited tests on the validity of the items before making the arrest.
