Federal Heat Melts Ice Cream Man

Ice cream truck service Frosty Treats happily touts church socials, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries on its Web site as a list of activities it specializes in. But judging from a recent federal court case, maybe it should add white slavery, too.

According to this release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Kansas City, Frosty Treats local branch manager David L. Carslake pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to obstruction of mail. Along with the plea agreement, Frosty Treats agreed to pay $47,555 to six foreign student workers recruited for a summer work program.
