A New York man pleaded guilty on Thursday to posting videos on YouTube in which he claimed he had arranged to poison millions of containers of Gerber baby food with the intent to kill babies.
Anton Dunn, 43, who called himself "Trashman," pleaded guilty to one count of transmitting threats in interstate commerce and faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, said acting U.S. attorney Lev Dassin.
Dunn posted his first video -- in which he wore a black mask -- on April 20, 2008, and followed up with a further two videos, posted on July 24 and July 27.
"In the video, entitled "gerbersbabyfoodalert," Dunn stated that Gerber employees acting at his direction had poisoned millions of bottles of Gerber baby food, to kill babies who ate it," Dassin said in a statement.
"Dunn further stated that it was "too late" to do anything about the poisoned baby food because it had already been shipped to consumers," he said.
Gerber, found no evidence that anyone had tampered with its baby food.
Dunn will be sentenced on March 20.
Earlier this year though, he posted a video threatening to kill Wendy Williams and claimed responsibility for the 2007 murder of rapper Stack Bundles.
Insane in the brain, we know.
Now, with his sentencing we hope the judge orders him the help need.
