MAN WHO SOLD URINE SENT TO PRISON

Kenneth Curtis shook hands with his attorneys, turned around and then walked out the door of the courtroom to serve six months in jail for distributing urine.  It brings an end to a six-year battle over Curtis' urine selling business.

Curtis maintains he sold the product because he felt random urine testing by companies was an invasion of privacy.  The state contends he sold it to help people defraud drug tests.

Curtis was sentenced to three years in prison in December 2001, suspended to six months, after an undercover officer purchased one of his kits containing urine, a heating pack and tubing.  Curtis had been out on $30,000 cash bond as he appealed the decision.
