A North County man faces a criminal charge of selling bootleg DVDs from the parking lot of a Florissant convenience store.
Richard Cheney, 54, of the 1200 block of Springhurst Drive north of Florissant, was charged with sale of unauthorized recordings, a felony.
Florissant Police said they received a report of a man selling bootleg movies out of the back of his SUV Sept. 22 in the Grandview Convenience Food and Liquor parking lot at 1711 Dunn Road. When they arrived, they found the man inside the store.
A clerk at the store told police he bought about 40 DVDs, paying $25 for the movies, in an attempt to get Cheney to leave the store. He said Cheney was being pushy and disruptive in seeking to sell the movies to customers and the clerk.
Florissant Police said they found about 3,000 bootleg DVDs in Cheney’s vehicle.
Cheney posted a $10,000 bond on Jan. 31 and was released from St. Louis County jail.

What purpose and who do you serve by judging others and feeling it is your responsiblity to report them? Do you really believe you're making the world a better place by engaging in such a trivial & petty action? It's the corporations that have no soul and care only about money and the bottom line that are leading us down the road we're on which is a far departure from the world our parents grew up in, and sadly not for the better unless your passion is technology and the loss of your civil rights. Our constitution is being eroded and destroyed before us. Like Bob Dylan says....You Gotta Serve Somebody
Wake Up America! If we're more worried about guys selling bootleg dvd's and kids downloading musically illegally on the internet than catching and prosecuting the REAL KILLERS of 9/11 then we don't really even deserve to be free, do we? The Greatest Mass Murder In US History - More Deaths than all the serial killers in US History COMBINED! We spent $100 to investigate Whitewater to find out if Bill Clinton got a blow job and what the meaning of the word IS IS but only spent $12 million to investigate 9/11, and only originally budgeted $4 million for it. REALLY!!!? I guess there's nothing unusual about that, IS THERE?????????????????
