3 indicted in trademark counterfeiting

WARREN -- The three vendors charged with trademark counterfeiting after a raid at the Warren Flea Market on Main Avenue Southwest have been indicted by a Trumbull County grand jury on charges of criminal simulation.
Fred C. McCall Jr., 48, of Akron; Louis A. Barrett, 35, of Canton; and Nicki Warfield, 29, of Warren were all free on $3,500 bonds after appearing before Municipal Court Judge Thomas P. Gysegem in February on the charges.
They are set to appear for arraignment Thursday on the felony charges before Judge Peter Kontos of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
The three were arrested when city police, accompanied by investigators from the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America, raided the flea market in February after a two-month investigation triggered by complaints to the MPAA and city police.
Police made undercover buys of bootlegged CDs and DVDs. Police seized several thousand bootlegged CDs and DVDs in the raid.
Some of the DVDs being offered for sale at the flea market featured movies still being shown in theaters, police said.
