PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A California man who spent nearly six years in prison for a 1980s marijuana-trafficking conviction got six months in federal prison for running a company that sold a male prosthetic called the Whizzinator that helped men cheat on drug tests.

Gerald W. Wills, 67, of Los Angeles, sold the device and a product called Number 1 that could be used by either men or women, along with a synthetic urine to fill the devices.

Wills' since-disbanded company, Puck Technology Inc., of Signal Hill, Calif., advertised the devices on the Internet as a way for pilots, truck drivers and others whose safety is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation to beat drug tests.

Prosecutors asked for leniency because the two men have continued to cooperate in other investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary McKeen Houghton would not detail those other investigations and her motion seeking leniency was under seal.

3. I can understand the conspiracy to defraud charges.

Too bad they didn't simply put "for novelty purposes only" on their web site.

But, conspiracy to sell drug paraphernalia?

A fake cock is a rather broad definition of drug paraphernalia.
