Leader of police-support club charged after drug search

BEAUMONT -- A jeweler who headed a local law enforcement support organization has been charged with possession of marijuana and steroids.
Charles Nacol Jr., 34, of Port Neches, surrendered to Jefferson County deputies Monday and was released on $50,000 bond, said Sheriff's Department Maj. Roy Birdsong.
The investigation began when U.S. Customs Service investigators intercepted a package of 2,000 Diazepam pills being sent to Nacol from Thailand via Mexico, Birdsong said. The pills are commonly known as Valium.
A postal inspector delivered the package to Nacol at his home on Thursday, Birdsong said. A few minutes after he accepted the package, officers rang the doorbell again, this time with a search warrant.
Officers found 7 ounces of marijuana and about 400 capsules of steroids in the house, Birdsong said. If convicted, he could be sentenced to five to 99 years in prison, Birdsong said.
Nacol had served as president of the 100 Club of Jefferson and Hardin counties since 1996.
The group was founded in 1989 after a Beaumont police officer was killed on duty. Over the years it has raised funds to buy bullet-proof vests, police dogs and other items for police agencies in the two counties.
The group also raises money for the education of children of slain officers, and money for officers hurt while on duty. After the June floods, the group gave money to 12 officers whose homes had been flooded, said club treasurer Rod Carroll.
Carroll said Nacol called him Friday and said he was resigning from the 100 Club because of personal reasons. "He didn't want to get the club involved," he said, adding that Nacol has led the 100 Club well.
