Open Extended ReactionsMIAMI -- A former Miami Heat security officer accused of selling stolen jerseys and other memorabilia worth millions of dollars made his initial appearance in federal court Tuesday.
Marcos Thomas Perez, 62, of Miami, was charged with transporting and transferring stolen goods in interstate commerce.
Over a three-year period, authorities say Perez sold more than 100 stolen items for approximately $2 million and shipped them across state lines, often at bargain prices.
They say Perez sold a Miami Heat jersey worn by LeBron James during the NBA Finals for approximately $100,000.
The documents say Perez accessed the equipment room to steal, in all, more than 400 game-worn jerseys and other items.
