Suwanee Police arrested a motorist who obviously hadn't taken drivers education. If he had, he likely would have successfully unloaded the stuff he was carrying.

But he didn't.

Last Friday, Officer Joe Burnette arrested the driver of a silver Jeep Liberty for running a red light. He made the arrest at Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and I-85, in the Suwanee Gateway area.

Inside the car were the driver and his passenger, and a load of bootleg T-shirts. The two men were headed to Bristol, Tennessee, carrying 1,032 T-shirts with NASCAR on them and 66 Kid Rock shirts, valued at $11,310.

Arrested were Kenneth Wayne Johnson, 28, of Atlanta and Reggie Lamar Jones, 34, of Bowman, SC, according to Capt. Clyde Byers of the Suwanee PD. They were charged with possession of counterfeit merchandise with intent to sell.
