New York man arrested for YouTube baby food threat
New York man arrested for YouTube baby food threat
1 hour, 28 minutes ago
A man who claimed in YouTube videos that he had directed others to poison millions of containers of Gerber baby food with the intent to kill babies was arrested on Thursday, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Gerber had not found any evidence that its product had been tampered with, and the man was charged with making threats and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product.
Anton Dunn, 42, who called himself "Trashman," was behind a series of videos posted on YouTube and other sites. The videos claimed that Gerber employees acting at his direction had poisoned millions of bottles of baby food, said prosecutors at Manhattan federal court.
In several videos, Dunn -- wearing a black mask -- said the baby food had been poisoned with cyanide, prosecutors said.

I can't understand what makes people do things like that.

Bored, very bored and wanting to be in the spotlight even if it is for something horrible.
