Phoenix prosecutors have charged a Dallas firefighter and two other Texas men sold fake NFL merchandise on Super Bowl weekend in February.
Lt. Reginald L. Cuington, 44, of the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department was charged with one felony count of selling counterfeit merchandise. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office filed the same charges on Friday against 35-year-old Vincent Odum and 27-year-old Joe Jackson.
Cuington and fellow firefighter Charles Whitaker, 38, were shot while walking to their hotel room the same weekend in what police say was an unrelated and apparently random attack. Whitaker died of his wounds.

So, 4 guys decide to sell fake NFL merchandise on Super Bowl weekend near the Glendale, AZ stadium. 2 of the guys were shot in a totally unrelated incident that same weekend. What are the odds?

The Patriots 12 jersey these guys were selling said “Brody” on the back and not “Brady”
