Man charged in counterfeit Viagra scheme

A Manassas Park man has been charged in a scheme to distribute and sell counterfeit Viagra tablets, just weeks after his partner pleaded guilty to dealing the fake erectile dysfunction pills. Charges of trafficking in counterfeit goods were unsealed this week against 34-year-old Dwayne Skiles. He allegedly conspired with 28-year-old Sarah A. Knott, a Waldorf woman who admitted in late May that she sold a fake, high-grade version of the sex enhancement drug.

Skiles supplied Knott with the counterfeit pills, according to the criminal complaint filed in federal court in Greenbelt. Emails between the two show that Knott advertised and arranged sales of the fake tablets and Skiles shipped them, the complaint says.
