Delaware County
DEA Executes Search Warrant
Oct 27, 2005, 05:07 PM


An international steroid drug ring is being broken up right here in central Ohio.

The Drug Enforcement Administration searched a house Thursday involving a man they call a "key player."

The DEA believes the man is part of an international drug ring where the chemicals are being brought in from Thailand to central Ohio for distribution.

While no one has been charged after Thursday's search, the Drug Enforcement Administration says it's the biggest steroid drug organization they've worked on in the past couple of years.

It is one they say they learned about because the suspect posed as a DEA human resources agent.

In a quiet suburb of Delaware County, DEA agents searched the home of a man they suspect of dealing steroids.

The DEA claims the man posed as a federal drug agent.

"He had business cards printed up and he was purporting himself [that] what he was doing was with the full knowledge and acceptance of the Drug Enforcement Administration," says DEA Asst. Spc. Agent in Charge Tony Marotta.

Agents say the suspect went so far as to set up a fake voicemail, which says, "Hi, you've reached the voice mail of… with the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Files and Background Investigation Department."

Agents claim he's responsible for sending tens of thousands of doses of steroids and gallons of GBL into the bodybuilding community.

Steroids speed up the heart rate. GBL is a form of the date rape drug that counteracts the effects of steroids, letting a user sleep.

The agency wants to break up this ring before anyone more susceptible gets a hold of it.

Marotta says, "You don't want it to get into the hands of those high school and in college."

10TV contacted the suspect. He declined to speak on camera, but did say he is a DEA agent who works in human resources.

The DEA in central Ohio continues to say he does not work for the administration.

That's all the info I could find. I'll look around some more.

Yea this article sucks, I talked to a local Police Officer who happens to be my next door neighbor last night. He was the one that advised me of the bust within a few hours of it happening. I didn't have many details so I didn't post it but spoke with Satch a few buddies to see if it was anyone we know. Turns out he lives right down the street from me, it's on in Delaware, but in Delaware County, this is a VERY small community I am in so I was abit shocked. One of the officers told me there was about $400k in gear in his residence, and they had been watching him for awhile cause he was making trips to Thailand to pickup gear. As far as the DEA agent posing, the officer told me he has heard nothing of the sort up till now, so I dont know if that's media hype or what, none the less, abit too close to home for me .

Wow, only thing that really weirds me out about that is that the news article says they tried to contact him and he STILL claimed to work for the DEA. Most guys would have just given up once caught. But he still professes to work for the DEA. Weird.

This shit sucks to hear. I hate hearing about anyone going down if they don't deserve it. Sometimes our unjustice system just seems to fail. Glad it was nobody from around here though!
