Man accused in deaths of 3 in Oklahoma pleads not guilty

MADILL, Okla. (AP) — A man accused of shooting his wife and two stepchildren to death in southern Oklahoma has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Marshall County court records indicate 56-year-old Kevin Moseley of Kingston entered the pleas on Tuesday during his first court appearance for the shooting deaths of his wife, Monica Moseley, and two step children, 16-year-old Johnathan Horath and 12-year-old Stephanie Horath. Their bodies were discovered Aug. 22 in their mobile home near Madill, about 105 miles (170 kilometers) southeast of Oklahoma City. Authorities say Moseley was arrested the same day in Abilene, Texas, more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) from where the shootings occurred. During the court hearing, Moseley blurted out: “I didn’t kill my wife.” Records don’t indicate that Moseley is represented by an attorney.

Florida man accused of selling fake products at county fair

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — A Florida man has been accused of selling fake products at a northern Illinois county fair. Will County sheriff’s police say counterfeit products said to be manufactured by Yeti, the Texas-based outdoor products company, were found at a Will County Fair booth operated by 72-year-old Robin Dana Perry of The Villages, Florida. Authorities say sheriff’s deputies became suspicious after inspecting Perry’s products. A Yeti inspector purchased two tumblers from Perry on Thursday that were later found to be fake. Perry allegedly claimed he purchased Yeti products from China so he could offer them at a lower price. Police say about 1,600 fraudulent Yeti products were seized. Perry was arrested and charged with selling counterfeit items and imitating a trademark. He was released on $25,000 bond.
