A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly giving women “buttocks enhancing” injections without a license.
Anthony Donnell Solomon was arrested and charged with unlicensed practice of a health care profession.
Miami-Dade police said they received information that Solomon had been performing buttocks-enhancing injections in motels.
An undercover agent arranged a so-called “pumping party” with Solomon to have a procedure done on June 18 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Doral.
Police said Solomon showed up with equipment to inject three women at $500 per treatment.
“What was being offered was a silicone-type substance,” said Lt. Hector Llevat of the Miami-Dade Medical Crimes Unit. “We don’t know for sure what substance it was that he brought that day, and that’s still pending, being tested.”
When arrested, Solomon had two open warrants for driving with a suspended license and aggravated battery.
While injectibles have become increasingly popular, women are urged not to risk their health.
“One of the ways to do that is to make sure that the person doing the procedure, administering the procedure, is a licensed person who has the background, the training and the education to be able to do this,” Llevat said.
The Florida Department of Health believes several women in Miami-Dade and Broward counties received illegal injections from Solomon.
