Jackson, Miss. (Press Release) –  Henry Davis, 49, of Bruce, has been arrested by agents of the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. He’s charged with possession of counterfeit goods with the intent to sell, announced Attorney General Jim Hood today.

Davis was recently arrested following a joint investigation involving the Attorney General’s Office Consumer Protection Division and the Pontotoc Police Department. A tip from a concerned citizen led authorities to Davis. During the investigation, it was discovered that he was allegedly selling counterfeit textile goods within the city limits of Pontotoc. Several different types of counterfeit goods, including NFL hats, jerseys, purses and wallets were also seized during his arrest.

If convicted, Davis faces up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines. As with all cases, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

This case is being investigated by Investigator Lee McDivitt and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Patrick Beasley of the Attorney General’s Office Consumer Protection Division.
