While Shipping Drugs

This investigation began several weeks ago when SIU received information from members of the community regarding the suspect’s involvement in drug trafficking. SIU detectives conducted multiple controlled purchases of anabolic steroids from the suspect during the investigation and were conducting surveillance on him Friday when he went to a shipping business on Southtown Blvd. in Owensboro. Detectives approached him at the store to arrest him on charges associated with the previous controlled purchases and located additional suspected anabolic steroids in his possession that he was preparing to ship. He was taken into custody and a search warrant was obtained for his vehicle and his apartment in the 2100 block of Carpenter Drive in Owensboro. During the execution of those search warrants additional evidence was located including a cooler in the vehicle that contained suspected anabolic steroids and syringes. In the apartment, detectives located suspected anabolic steroids, packaging vials and labels, printed instructions on how to mix ingredients to produce anabolic steroids, scales, syringes, and a loaded shotgun and rifle. 

All of the evidence was seized and logged into DCSO property. The additional suspected anabolic steroids will be sent to the KSP laboratory for analysis. The suspect was lodged in the Daviess County Detention Center. This is an ongoing investigation and additional charges are likely.
