Man Arrested for Boosting Butts With Cement, Fix-A-Flat - US Messageboards

Florida police on Friday arrested a man suspected of administering dangerous and illegal butt-boosting shots – injecting at least one woman with a cocktail of substances including cement, glue and tire sealant.

And, believe it or not, that man is the person pictured above.

The man is 30-year-old Oneal Ron Morrie.

Police could not release an official report on the incident, noting that the case is still under investigation. However, Sgt. William Bamford of the Miami Gardens, Fla., Police Department said that the procedure took place in May 2010, after the as-yet-unidentified victim met with Morris to discuss the procedure.

“They agreed on the price of $700 for the procedure, which was intended for cosmetic purposes,” Bamford said.

What the woman got for her money was a series of injections containing a bizarre concoction of cement, super glue, mineral oil and Fix-A-Flat tire inflator and sealant, police said.

Bamford said that the procedure was conducted not in a clinic, but in a residential setting in Miami Gardens, and that shortly after the substance was injected into the woman’s body she developed what Bamford termed “severe complications.”

“[A] short time later, she develops very serious pains, abdomen, throughout her body,” Bamford told ABC affiliate WPLG. “She knows something’s wrong.”

Bamford said the woman went to two different local hospitals, finally heading to Tampa General Hospital, where she received treatment, he said.

Bamford said the woman had an infection at the wound site with the drug-resistant bug MRSA, and she had also developed pneumonia. Even then, Bamford said, the woman was not forthcoming with doctors regarding the source of her symptoms.

But doctors at the hospital, suspecting the work of an unlicensed practitioner was to blame, contacted the Florida Department of Health.

Unfortunately, before health officials could learn more about the case, the woman had left the hospital.

It was not until March 2011 that investigators in South Florida were able to piece together enough of what happened to track down Morris and arrest him in North Lauderdale, Fla., a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was charged with practicing medicine without a license and causing bodily harm.

As odd as the idea of cut-rate, illicit, butt-boosting injections may sound, this case is far from the first that has made headlines – and in some cases, the outcome has been deadly.

In February, 20-year-old British woman Claudia Aderotimi died following a cosmetic buttocks injection administered in a Philadelphia hotel room.

In January, Whalesca Castillo, an unlicensed practitioner in New York City, was arrested for running an illegal business out of her home injecting women with liquid silicone in the buttocks and breasts.

And in 2010, a Miami woman, Ana Josefa Sevilla, was charged with a similar crime after one of her clients ended up in the emergency room with complications.

“We’ve heard of people having caulk or industrial-grade silicone, neither of which is approved for use anywhere in the body, injected into their buttocks,” Dr. Felmont Eaves, a North Carolina-based plastic surgeon and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, told ABCNews.com at the time of Aderotimi’s death. “There are safe ways to augment the buttocks. Fat grafts usually work extremely well, but obviously you want someone who is board-certified to do that procedure.”

The thing most people don't realize about this is that the only real law he broke was not paying the government a bunch of the money to get the "legal" license. Plastic surgeons do not have strict rules for getting these licenses. The other portion the article does not address is that most cosmetic procedures are using deadly toxins, and most licensed ones use their own potions made with almost the exact same chemicals. The only reason this guy is being prosecuted, as I said, is because he didn't pay the large licensing fees required.

Not to mention he almost killed his customer.

Well, that's not what got him in trouble, which is my gripe about the medical industry as a whole.

If he was licensed, this would barely have made it past the classifieds section of the paper.

That IS what got him in trouble. And had he been licensed he would have been in even more trouble.

Not really ....

Most licensed cosmetic surgeons do harm their patients a lot, yet you rarely see it in the news. That's because if there was ever a public interest looking into the requirements for cosmetic surgeon licenses .... some heads would roll. Go ahead, look at the requirements for a license and such.

If a licensed butt bulger almost kills his patient, his license is pulled and he goes to jail and pays a hefty fine.

THIS creep, the only way he got on the radar in the first place is, he almost killed a customer.

So many things wrong with this on so many levels!!

First, who would accept any kind of medical attention from anyone who looks like that?!

Second, licensed practitioners do not use cement glue, Fix-A-Flat and cement or anything comparable and have to use medically approved materials. So, I take exception to this notion. They just could not continue in this practice without detection, there would be far too many reported complications to allow it to continue.

The other thing is, if something like this is not being done in a clinic or hospital, get a clue, that's a huge red flag.

I blame folks seeking medical attention/cosmetic surgery, etc., from unlicensed practitioners, for not checking them out, and what exactly is being introduced into their bodies. If this women knew the concoction and agreed to it anyway, then she too is a moron!

This guy is a nut job, plain and simple. I've seen how lives are changed and saved by the remarkable work and dedication by truly caring licensed practitioners. Folks have to take responsibility for their own health, do the research and ask the questions, do their homework
