Default Dallas customs cracking down

As a consequence of the attention to the "epidemic" of AAS use among high school football players in Texas, it appears US Customs in Dallas is cracking down on AAS importation from overseas. Although not mentioned in this news story, I'm sure the over riding concern is "protecting the children" as DFW parents are scared shitless that there kids are using AAS and will start killing themselves en masse.

He was released on $34,000 bail for what I suspect is not a particularly large amount. But of course prosecutors are trying to claim he is a major dealer importing sufficient AAS to "supply up to 10 people for several weeks".

Note to people who learn from others mistakes - don't keep records or receipts of previous purchases, they will incriminate you further!! Of course, it's probably not wise to import AAS at all in the current environment.


Inquiry targets sources of steroids


Package from Mexico leads to arrest

EULESS - An intercepted package of illegal anabolic steroids from Mexico led to the arrest of a Euless man this week.

The 27-year-old was arrested Wednesday after investigators say they tracked the shipment from Cancun, Mexico, through Miami to his home. It was the third shipment of steroids Charles Jeffrey Hall has received this year, according to police, who believe he planned to sell them.

Steroids with a street value of $14,500 were seized - enough to supply up to 10 people for several weeks, said Herschel Tebay, commander of the Tarrant County Narcotics Task Force.

The case was cracked using what authorities called a "controlled delivery."

Inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection were conducting routine checks in Miami when they discovered anabolic steroids in a package from Cancun, according to a police report. The package was to be delivered to Hall in Euless, the report states.

"We knew it was going to be happening, so we let it happen and made the arrest," said Carl Rusnok, spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Dallas.

The package was rerouted to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, where customs officials took charge of it. It was delivered to Hall, then officials with a search warrant entered his home in the 1300 block of Bear Creek Parkway and found the opened package. It included six kinds of anabolic steroids that had apparently been shipped in a hollowed-out book, according to the police report.

Officials also found receipts indicating that two other shipments from Cancun had been made this year, the police report states.

Hall told police the steroids were for his use and that of a friend, according to police.

Reached by phone Thursday, a man who identified himself as Hall declined to speak with a reporter.

Hall faces six counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, according to police. An official at the Euless Jail said Hall was released Thursday on $34,000 bail. Possessing anabolic steroids without a prescription is illegal.
