A Southern California man who pleaded guilty last year of running an illegal Botox business has been arrested again trying to open another one less than two weeks after he was released from prison, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Elias Segoviano, 63, of Brea, was released from state prison in December after serving one year and four months of a four-year sentence after admitting he injected clients with potentially counterfeit Botox, fillers, anesthetics, and other medical drugs at his Anaheim business.
