Canoga Park Man Sentenced for Selling Bogus Viagra Pills 2012-07-18
By Saul Daniels

A Canoga Park man who used Craigslist to advertise and sell counterfeit erectile dysfunction drugs was sentenced Monday to one year in federal prison and fined $6,000.

Barry Ronnel Johnson, 38, pleaded guilty in March before U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder to one count of trafficking and importing counterfeit goods.

Johnson admitted importing imposter erectile dysfunction medication from China and India, then using an advertisement on Craigslist to sell the pills, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The probe began after ICE Customs Enforcement officers at Los Angeles International Airport intercepted a package in March 2011 containing more than 1,700 counterfeit pills being shipped to Johnson's home address.

Subsequently, the defendant sold 30 blue diamond-shaped tablets labeled "Filagra" to an undercover agent posing as a buyer on Craigslist, ICE officials said.
