Turkish national charged with selling counterfeit goods at Mall at Fairfield Commons
Mar. 6—A Turkish national has been arrested for allegedly selling counterfeit goods from a kiosk at the Mall at Fairfield Commons.
Emre Teski, 25, was charged in federal court of trafficking counterfeit goods, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in federal prison.
According to the release, Teski was accused of running two kiosks, one of which mainly sold replica professional soccer jerseys and hats from trademarked soccer teams like FC Barcelona, Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, Manchester City and Arsenal, and the second of which sold mainly oversized slippers that look like sneakers, including Nike and Air Jordan trademarks.
He allegedly sold an investigator counterfeit Nike slippers that use the trademarked Nike Swoosh, as well as a counterfeit pink Lionel Messi jersey.
Federal agents executed a search warrant at the kiosks on Thursday and seized numerous items with confirmed or suspected counterfeit trademarks, the release said.
The U.S. attorney's office said that Teski is a citizen of Turkey and illegally entered the country via Mexico on Sept. 10, 2022. He then admitted to illegally crossing the border and on Jan. 3, 2024 was ordered removed from the U.S. However, he since appealed the decision and was given authorization to work in the country while his appeal is pending.

He Walked Into an Amish Home and Killed a Pregnant Woman with Her Children Feet Away — But What Brought Him There?
Shawn Christopher Cranston, 52, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing 23-year-old pregnant Amish woman Rebekah Byler and second-degree murder for killing her unborn child Investigators linked Cranston to the crime through a shoe print and his belongings found at the scene, including Nike sneakers and guns Cranston, who had previously provided rides for a nearby family, had allegedly exhibited strange behavior, including wandering the property in black clothing with a pistolA truck driver was convicted of shooting a pregnant Amish woman to death inside of her rural northwestern Pennsylvania home while her kids were in the next room over. Shawn Christopher Cranston, 52, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Rebekah Byler, 23, and second-degree murder for killing her unborn child, the AP reported. 'It is hard to fathom conduct more heinous than brutally killing a young expectant mother and her unborn child in her home,' Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said to the outlet. 'Our homes are supposed to be our safe haven — this defendant violated the sanctity of home to commit these truly evil acts.' On the morning of Feb. 26, 2024, Rebekah was at her home while her husband was being driven to work, the AP reported, citing authorities. When her husband, Andy Byler, returned home from work, he found her dead. 'I didn't really believe it,' Andy said at a preliminary hearing for Cranston, the outlet reported. 'I walked in and saw her cap laying inside the door.' Rebekah and Andy's two other children, a 2-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, were at home when she was killed but the children were left unharmed, PennLive reported, citing court records. The boy later reportedly told police that a man in a green truck entered their home with sneakers and killed his mom. Investigators later found a shoe print inside their home resembling a Nike Air Force One sneaker and later found the shoes in the family's home, the outlet reported, citing police. Police also found some of Cranston's clothing, five bank bags, a box of gloves and seven guns with was a driver for an Amish man who lived a mile away from Rebekah's home, PennLive reported, citing court documents. Court records said the family had 'very odd experiences' with Cranston, saying that after he provided the first ride, he would randomly show up at the family's home. Amish people rely on drivers outside of the community since they do not drive vehicles. They also do not traditionally wear sneakers, according to their community rules. In one instance, Cranston allegedly drove a Jeep to the Byler's home, parked it in their driveway and wandered around the property wearing black clothing head to toe, PennLive reported. He allegedly had a black pistol in a holster on his belt and walked aimlessly, not making any sense when he interacted with neighbors. Neighbors have told police that he is a member of the War Dogs motorcycle club, where he serves as sergeant at arms, the outlet reported. Police are still not entirely sure what Cranston's motive was for killing Rebekah, local outlets reported. They're continuing to analyze his Jeep for evidence. Cranston is scheduled to be sentenced in July. Read the original article on People
