Washington (dbTechno) - A New York man, 42-year old Anton Dunn was arrested on Thursday. Dunn, who called himself Trashman, posted videos on YouTube that he told employees to poison millions of containers of Gerber baby food, in order to succeed in killing innocent babies.
According to reports, the baby food threat turned out to be nothing but a hoax.
There was no evidence that any containers of Gerber baby food had been contaminated or tampered with in any way.
Federal prosecutors have charged the man with making threats and falsely claiming to tampering with consumer products.
The series of videos posted on YouTube stated that he had Gerber employees following his orders to poison millions of bottles of baby food.
