Red Line UG lab busted in Oklahoma




The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Cleveland County Sheriff's Office shut down a large steroid lab and arrested three people after a two month investigation.

A search warrant was obtained for a home, located at 417 Madison Ct. Inside the home, agents found steroid powder, liquid steroid compounds, unused glass vials, vial sealer, scales, unused pill capsules, pill capsule presses, syringes, drug ledgers, and labeling equipment capable of producing hundreds of vials of steroids.

"There is tremendous black market for steroids within certain bodybuilding circles throughout Oklahoma," said OBN spokesperson Mark Woodward in a press release.

Woodward said Dakota Epperly, 23, Marcus Wade, 26, and Cortny Choate, 20, were arrested Wednesday in connection with the steroids manufacturing and distribution. They were booked into the Cleveland County jail and face charges of Conspiracy to Manufacture CDS Steroids and Possession of CDS Steroids with Intent to Distribute. The penalties carry up to life in prison. Additional charges of violating the Oklahoma Drug Money Laundering/Wire Transmitter Act may also be filed in the case.

During the investigation, Woodward said undercover agents bought steroids from the suspects, as well as some Ecstasy and cocaine.

The steroid powder was being ordered on-line from China. Upon arrival, the suspects would use other components to convert the powder to finished steroids then sell the vials to bodybuilders in the Oklahoma City area and on the west coast.

Woodward said the drugs were manufactured as their own brand of steroids called "Red Line."

According to Woodward, additional arrests are possible as the investigation continues into those purchasing the "Red Line" steroids.

Further story coverage :-

Three Moore residents were arrested on multiple felony complaints after authorities raided a home-based steroids lab, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control spokesman Mark Woodward said today.

Dakota Epperly, 23, Marcus Wade, 26, and Cortny Choate, 19, are in Cleveland County jail on complaints of conspiracy to manufacture steroids and possession of steroids with intent to distribute, Woodward said.

They were arrested Wednesday after bureau agents and Cleveland County sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at 417 Madison Court.

Agents said they found steroid powder, liquid steroid compounds, unused glass vials, a vial sealer, scales, unused pill capsules, pill capsule presses, syringes, drug ledgers and labeling equipment during the search, Woodward said. The three appeared to be manufacturing their own brand of steroids called "Red Line," he said.

Agents made undercover buys during an investigation, Woodward said. Investigators think the steroid powder was ordered online from China, and they would use other materials to convert the powder to a finished product.

I felt bad for them until you said that they got poped for cocaine and ecstasy...we all know that steroids are not only NOT bad for you but can actually be GOOD for your health...but narcotics are always a no go looser drug.

Hmmm, Knuckles101....sounds familiar off of Steroidlogy

You'd be surprise to see that often steroids and recreational drugs goes hand in hand!Look at Craig Titus, and David Dearth!!!

Manufacturing steroids, illegal, but, whatever. Distribution of coke and x? FUCKING STUPID

the sad thing is the general public thinks that steroids are just as bad, if not worse, than coke.

David Dearth had trouble with recs? I never knew that.

Damn and a 19 year old girl, ouch. Not a cool way to start adulthood.

Dear guys,is this UGL brand ? look like ugl.

Now all customers who use them can be in big big problem. DEA have all list,etc.
not good

best-regards

Key word in this statement..

First up, this is not true. Narcotics have valid medical applications, as do steroids. Not everyone who uses steroids recreationally is harmed. Not everyone who uses narcotics recreationally is harmed either.

In fact, the most frequently-seen long-term health risks from the use of non-contaminated narcotic medication (such as heroin) in maintenance doses are mild constipation, and reduced sex drive.

I know. Damned junkies. They DESERVE to go to prison, right? Just like steroid users. Damned users. How dare they?

Furthermore, Ecstasy (MDMA, 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is not a narcotic. As its name suggests, it is related to amphetamine and phenethylamine. It was used, legally, in psychotherapy: a friend of mine had it administered to him years ago to enhance therapy sessions with his Psychiatrist. He found it very helpful, as he recounts.

As is often the case with (illegal) drugs that are used recreationally, the health-risks associated with non-contaminated MDMA appear to be somewhat overblown.

Cocaine also has legitimate medical applications. Coca leaves are chewed by Peruvians to alleviate altitude sickness, and cocaine is used in topical ocular anesthesia.

Let's not lose perspective here folks - every medication is part poison.

This does not mean every person who uses these drugs - including steroids - will be harmed.

I mean, isn't this the whole point here?

I know someone who just ordered like $750+ worth of gear from him.. doubt it gets shipped out. That sucks..

I agree with your statement on narcotics having medicanal purposes, there is not doubt that most do, hell we give PCP to horses. I just wanted to say that MDMA is most likely the worst recreational drug you can possibly do as far as your brain is concerned. One hit permanently messes up your dendritic branching in various parts of your brain not to mention a lot of other negative effects it does. If it weren't a friday night I'd dig up some studies from pubmed that show this. I just had to point that out lol, I hate when people say MDMA is ok to use.

I wouldnt worry about it everyone knows guys who use gear cant read or write let alone use sumthin foshishticated like a puter

I didn't say it was "okay to use". I've never used it, nor heroin, nor cocaine for that matter.

My post was to discourage blanket statements condemning the use of some illegal drugs by those who use, tolerate or promote the use of OTHER illegal drugs.

Harvard did some research on the use of mdma in post traumatic stress disorder that seemed to prove beneficial for the test subjects.The problem that they had is that when the Dumb Ass DEA classifies something as a sched 1 drug with no medicinal value then it's extremely hard to get and keep approval to conduct these studies.
