Deputies seize steroid tablets at Stark home
Beacon Journal staff report
CANTON: Armed with a search warrant, federal and local law enforcement agents seized about 300 illegal anabolic steroid tablets -- ordered online from Taiwan -- from an Eighth Street Northwest residence.
Stark County Sheriff Timothy A. Swanson said yesterday that the 22-year-old occupant wasn't charged. Authorities plan to take the case directly to Prosecutor Robert D. Horowitz's staff for grand jury consideration.
``We don't get a lot of this kind of thing,'' said sheriff's Inspector Steven Ready, commander of the Stark Metropolitan Narcotics Unit, which executed the warrant with the Canton police Vice and Criminal Intelligence Unit, U.S. Customs Service and U.S. Postal Service.
In addition to the tablets, Ready said, some vials of steroids, 27 needles and several syringes also were confiscated. The drugs were sent to the Stark County Crime Lab for analysis.
He added that there was no reason to believe the steroids were for anything but personal use. Anabolic steroids promote muscle growth and are used by some athletes and bodybuilders in an effort to improve their performance or appearance.
According to Ready, U.S. Customs and the Postal Service discovered the drugs were ordered via the Internet. They were intercepted once in the United States so undercover officers could make the delivery
