BLOOMINGTON - Police arresting a clothing store owner accused of selling marijuana Tuesday discovered his store's entire stock was counterfeit, the sheriff said.

Sydney Gilliam, 45, was arrested Tuesday and has since been released on $3,000 bond on a charge of unlawful delivery of marijuana.

But the entire stock of clothing and shoes at Gilliam's store, Mr. G's Fashions, was confiscated, said Sheriff Mike Emery. Gilliam has operated the store at 2310 E. Oakland Ave., Bloomington, since March 2006, Emery said.

Gilliam has not been charged in connection with the allegedly counterfeit items, but information from the sheriff's office says additional charges are pending.

The items were together worth $25,000 to $30,000 and they were supplied by an unknown Chicago man, Emery said.

"I've got a lot of Nike shoes and all kinds of new clothes," Emery said, later adding he would like to eventually donate the confiscated goods to social service organizations and homeless shelters.

The products would otherwise be destroyed when they were no longer needed as evidence, he said.

Detectives with the sheriff's office were trained in the last few months on counterfeit product identification, Emery said. A representative from Nike has since been to Bloomington and identified as counterfeit the confiscated goods bearing the company's name, he said.

Other knock-offs included look-alike Fubu and Timberland shoes and clothing, Emery said.

A source with the sheriff's office bought marijuana from Gilliam in June 2007, and he sold the drug out of his car at that time, Emery said. Authorities didn't know the store contained counterfeit goods until detectives and U.S. marshals went to Gilliam's store to arrest him, he said.
