Newark firefighter indicted for allegedly selling pirated DVDs from comic shop
Comic books and graphic novels aren't all Newark Fire Department captain Jose Robles sold out of his Newark comic book store, according to county officials.
Robles, 50, now stands charged with second degree trademark counterfeiting, second degree misconduct by a corporate official and third degree pirating offenses after investigators found him in possession of over 11,000 counterfeit and pirated DVDs, said Essex County Prosecutor's Office spokeswoman Katherine Carter.
Robles was indicted for making and selling the DVDs at A Fortress of Solitude on University Avenue, Carter said. According to investigators, the seized DVDs are worth more than $100,000.
Detectives also seized several pieces of computer and digital equipment believed to have been used to make counterfeit DVDs from the comic store, Carter said.
Robles' indictment comes on the heels of the announcement of impersonating a law enforcement officer charges against Newark fire captain Anthony Graves.
According to investigators with the Union County Prosecutor's Office, Graves, a 16-year member of the department, used the emergency lights on his fire department vehicle to initiate the stops and then verbally questioned each of the drivers.
Reached Tuesday, Acting Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said he will review the details of the investigations in preparation for making a decision on the employment status of both Graves and Robles.
Robles' next court appearance for Robles is scheduled for April 15.
