Boosting Butts With Cement, Fix-A-Flat, Leads to Arrest
Email
(Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation|Miami Gardens Police Department)
Florida police on Friday arrested a person 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.
The person is 30-year-old Oneal Ron Morris, who was born a man but who identifies as a woman. Morris is pictured above.
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 and arrest Morris in North Lauderdale, Fla., a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Morris 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.”
Editor’s note: The original version of this blog mistakenly identified Oneal Ron Morris as a man, though she identifies as a woman. The blog was subsequently corrected. We regret this error.

So, ABC, who is the picture of? There’s not identifying information.

@Minorkey1: “So, ABC, who is the picture of? There’s not identifying information.” Although the article doesn’t clarify it very well, the picture is of the alleged perpetrator, Morris. From another site:
“Oneal Ron Morris, a 30-year-old transgendered woman,…also performed a similar procedure on herself.”

It is just pathetic that a woman would subject herself to this level of danger in order to fatten up her ass. But then, Hollywood is full of women who look like they also had “back alley” surgical procedures. I feel sorry for all of these women…rich or poor.

Gozar, thanks for the info. The line “And, believe it or not, that man is the person pictured above.” in this article was added after my comment posted, apparently in response to it. I kinda figured it had to be a picture of the perp.

It seems clear that Oneal is a transgendered individual that identifies as a woman; the proper pronoun, then, is “she.” Other than that, great article.

Gotta add re Shakin My Head’s comment, “There’s no cure for stupid,” that this story, and that picture, go a long way toward proving that gravity isn’t the most powerful force in the universe; stupidity is.

It is obvious from the picture – and from more accurate reporting on other sites – that Morris identifies as a woman. To ignore her preferences and refer to her as a man is inappropriate. Moreover this quote:
“And, believe it or not, that man is the person pictured above.
The man is 30-year-old Oneal Ron Morris.”
is astonishingly condescending and deliberately humiliating for Morris, who – fraudulent behavior aside – does not deserve to be mocked for her gender presentation. I expect better reporting from ABC.

Actually, just because someone PREFERS to be referred to in a certain manner, does not mean
they actually ARE. Even the law does not recognize a per-operative transsexual as having the
new gender. And in any case, members of society do not need to ignore their own belief system,
though it may be courteous to do so.

@SHAREU1:
RE: “Why is it necessary to point it out?”
Because the people that are offended by calling someone by their legal gender, like to make it known that they are in fact transgender. Besides the fact that when you call someone “Oneil” you tend to think that person is most likely a man.
In addition – people don’t have to look at the name, then look at the face… uh.. I mean, this way, people don’t have to look at the name and wonder if it is a guy or a girl – even though the name is quite gender oriented toward the male side of society.

I am very offended and disgusted that ABC and a growing number of people in this twisted society try to assert that someone like Oneil Ron Morris (or any other man, for that matter) is the same gender as me–a woman. That thing is not a woman. I don’t care how he (or it) WANTS to be identified. You can identify as a sloth, a bumblebee, a cockroach, a Cro-Magnon, a Siamese Twin or the Eiffel Tower for all I care, but I am going to identify you as what you are genetically–a man. A very mentally twisted one, mind you. One who is completely out of touch with reality. If women were valued in this society, there would be laws against impersonating us and our biology.
