AZ Couple Popped

[BigCracker]

If they sold to a minor, thats stupid. 1.5 mill between the two? shit people get less than that for murder...BTW, correct about the cops, i know a couple of deputys and they are all on AAS, hell, one of them deals the shit

the media needs to find another horse to beat, i'm sick of hearing about this. it makes it tough on the rest of us,and most of the time they have not a clue of what they are talking about

That 1.5 million quote is definitely an inflated figure. The city they were busted in doesn't have a vice squad or organized crime bureau, so the detectives have to produce or they'll lose out on their funding. The busts here are so predictable. It usually happens over a 6 month period. The initial wave busts a few people, some of them rat/cooperate and in 3 months the people they ratted out get popped. Then you don't hear anything for about another 3 months and finally you see something like the couple's scenario on the news. Think of all the hours and $$$ spent on this by the city. It's hardly justifiable from a budget standpoint but it sure makes great news for the steroid hating public.

Oh yeah, the guy who sold to a minor is what started the initial investigation many months ago. He's some personal trainer guy (that must not be too bright?) that allegedly spit a bunch of names of low profile users when he was questioned by cops. Of course he denies this. I know he got some jail time for doing something roid related, so he must've copped a plea? I assume the couple's bust was the end result of a shakedown of a couple dozen peeps, not soley the selling to a minor incident.

My guess is that he made the statement about fleeing to an undercover cop or narc before he knew he was busted? If he was being cocky and telling the cops he's gonna flee to Canada after the fact, he's a moron.

Arizona is very tough on drugs. The roids they had were probably worth about 10% of what the cops are saying-maybe even less? I've lived in AZ for 15 yrs and there's always been undercover cops trying to make buys in gyms from anyone remotely big or muscular. It's fairly common, so apparently these two were greedy and/or too brazen about what they were doing.

There's a good chance they'll get off easy if they kept quiet and the cops don't have any hard evidence that they were selling. But this remains to be seen. Since many roid peddlers are inexperienced when it comes to getting busted for drugs, they'll cut a deal w/ the cops where they set up other people(like their gym friends?) in return for a lighter sentence. The sad part is they'd probably get an even lighter sentence if they kept quiet, didn't cooperate, and hired an attorney. Oh well, it sucks to be them.

Number one rule if arrested, ask for a lawyer and say nothing else. Period!
