As the co-owner of the Utz potato chip stand at Lexington Market fights stave off eviction, her brother talks to Baltimore Sun's Tricia Bishop while in "Supermax." Michael Papantonakis is accused by the feds of selling guns from the stand and is awaiting trial.

He talked to Tricia for about five minutes and denied selling guns over the counter, though he did admit to completing transactions there. He also said he did not sell weapons to gangs, such as the Bloods and Hells Angels, though he did tell two buyers that to make them think there was competition.

So what the feds say is arms dealing Papantonakis describes simply as good business practices. But it's hard to win sympathy while admitting to selling guns, even if they were, as he says, from his personal collection.

This story does have it all: the suspect's unabashed sister defending her brother from the stall, facing eviction while hanging signs blaming the market management, even as security guards tear the signs down. We've got gangs and bikers and court hearings and guns and bounty hunters and a world-famous market and allegations of mob-style retribution.
