ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis-area man is facing criminal charges
alleging that he used a prosthetic penis to try to pass a drug test.
Authorities say 34-year-old Sydney Levin was submitting a urine sample
last week as part of his probation when an officer allegedly spotted him
using a prosthetic, known as a Whizzinator. The device has been
advertised as way to pass drug tests by using someone else's urine.
KMOV-TV reported that Levin, of Lake St. Louis, was charged last week
with possessing a forging instrument. He was arrested and released after
posting $25,000 bond, and pleaded not guilty on Monday.
Levin was on probation for possession of a controlled substance and
felony stealing in 2009. Authorities say Levin's probation required that
he submit a urine sample as part of drug test.
Levin did not have a listed phone number. Court records show that he
does not yet have an attorney.
In 2010, Gerald Willis of Los Angeles was sentenced to six months in
federal prison for running a company that sold the Whizzinator to cheat
on drug tests. Willis' company disbanded, but the Whizzinator is still
sold on the Web as a sex toy through a company called Alternative
Lifestyle Systems of Long Beach, Calif. A message seeking comment from
the company on Thursday was not returned.
In a video on the Huffington Post website earlier this month, High Times
associate publisher Richard Cusick used the Whizzinator as an example of
tricks people use to beat drug tests.
