Bruce Lee and his lawyer walk out of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse after a hearing in February 2022.

A 37-year-old Chicago man charged with selling counterfeit Cubs hats was doing so while on federal probation for selling fraudulent White Sox tickets, Cook County officials said Friday.

Bruce Lee was arrested Wednesday after undercover officers purchased the counterfeit Cubs bucket hats from Lee on two separate occasions in Wrigleyville, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart said in a news release.

A brand representative determined the hats were fakes. At the time of his arrest, Lee had 78 counterfeit hats and a few Chicago Bears beanies in his possession, according to the release.
