BAKO MAN SELLS DYE AS DRUG

A Bakersfield man has plead guilty in Federal Court for selling a miracle weight loss drug.  In fact, it was a chemical used as a dye, wood preserver and herbicide as an extreme weight loss drug. 29-year-old Adam Alden entered the guilty plea Monday for selling the drug in Rhode Island where one customer died although prosecutors were unable to be certain it was because of the chemical. He faces a 5-year prison sentence plus fines up to $100,000 for a substance he only made $500 from.
