After a three-year manhunt, a Utah man has been arrested on charges of allegedly selling a fake COVID-19 cure, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah announced Monday. Search warrants were executed at Pedersen's home in late April 2020 and he was interviewed by federal agents, the documents show. Throughout the pandemic, a variety of cases have been prosecuted of people selling fake COVID-19 cures. Last month, four members of a Florida family were convicted of selling bleach as a cure for several ailments, including COVID-19, through their online church.
