NORMAL - About 320 pairs of knock-off shoes confiscated from a
Bloomington store soon could be on the feet of impoverished people
in Bloomington-Normal, Champaign, East St. Louis and Liberia.
"It's an incredible blessing for Calvary to have this quantity of
shoes to distribute," said Josh Barnett, communications director for
Calvary United Methodist Church, 1700 N. Towanda Ave.
County maintenance and sheriff's department employees carried
stacks of boxes of shoes into the church Monday morning. The shoes
were confiscated in December when deputies who were arresting a 46-
year-old man on marijuana charges noticed counterfeit merchandise in
the man's store.
