Ap- We’ve all seen numerous videos on YouTube, but what would you do if you watched a video from someone who claimed he had put poison in baby food with the intent to “kill black and Hispanic children?” According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is exactly what happened.

Anton Dunn, 42, posted a video on the Internet which made its way to YouTube. He apparently went by the name Trashman and recorded three videos. In the video Dunn brags about controlling Gerber employees and directing them to put poison in millions of baby food bottles.

In some of the videos he claims to have used cyanide and rat poison and that there were four babies that have already died. Dunn says his motive for poisoning the baby food is to try to “cut down on the black population.”

The FDA and Gerber Products Co. found that there has been no tampering of any Gerber product. Nestle Nutrition, Gerber’s parent company, believes that Dunn’s claims were all a “malicious hoax.” They added that “the safety of Gerber and Nestle Nutrition products is our top priority.”

Dunn is being charged with “sending threats in interstate commerce and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product.” He could be looking at a 10-year prison sentence if he is found guilty.
