Incident: Counterfeit Merchandise
Date of Incident: 19 August 2008
Location: U.S. 13 S/B South of Parker Road, MD
Suspects:
1. Malachi Christopher Wise, 32, Exmore, VA
2. Iysha Simone Wise, 20, Exmore, VA
Narrative: On 19 August 2008 at 9:50 PM, a deputy from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle operated by Malachi Wise for an equipment violation. During his contact with Wise, the deputy observed indicators that led him to believe the occupants were engaged in criminal activity. A Wicomico County Sheriff drug K9 responded to the scene and after a scan, alerted to the presence of the odor of illegal drugs in the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, the deputy located marijuana.
The deputy also observed several packages inside the vehicle. The occupants of the vehicle, Wise and his passenger Iysha Wise, stated they buy items in New York for re-sale at flea markets in Virginia. When the deputies opened the packages, they discovered what they recognized as counterfeit DVD’s and CD’s. A total of 64 counterfeit DVD’s and 130 counterfeit CD’s were discovered. A further search revealed 44 pairs of counterfeit NIKE tennis shoes in the trunk. The deputy was able to determine their lack of authenticity due to his training and the manner in which they were packages and constructed. Based on his investigation, the deputy determined that these counterfeit goods were destined to be sold upon their arrival to Virginia.
Both Malachi and Iysha Wise were arrested and transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where they were processed and brought before the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, both subjects were held in the Wicomico County Detention Center in lieu of $5,000.00 bond.
Charges:
Possession of Counterfeit Items with the intention to sell and distribute
Possession of Marijuana

It does not matter the nature of the crime. The point is they purposefully broke the law and deserve to be punished. I agree with the ones who praise the officers.
