Texarkana, Arkansas - A former associate of evangelist Tony Alamo will spend eight weekends in jail for selling counterfeit merchandise at the Great American Outlet Mall in Texarkana, Texas.
Leslie "Buster" White agreed to the sentence during a hearing in which prosecutors were asking a judge to revoke his probation for the same crime.
The motion was filed in March after state and local health inspectors and the FBI said they found copycat designer labels and out-of-date food, over-the-counter drugs and cosmetics at the mall.
Investigators say invoices listed Action Distributors and SJ Distribution as sellers of the goods. Court documents and testimony during Alamo's criminal detention hearing in October said both companies are owned by Tony Alamo Christian Ministries members.
White publicly denounced his association with Alamo and the ministry in December.
