A Tuesday night raid in a quiet Metairie neighborhood was part of an investigation into alleged steroid sales over the Internet, according to Jefferson Parish officials.

Sheriff Harry Lee said Edward and Natalie Barton were allegedly manufacturing steroids and gamma butyrolactone (GBL) at a lab in their in their Tabony Street home.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and U.S. Customs agents were at the home Tuesday night removing containers of a white powder.

Lee said the business the couple allegedly ran, liquidresearch.com, mixed the chemicals and distributed them via the Internet and in the metro New Orleans area.

Edward Barton was charged with possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids, creation of clandestine lab, possession of GBL (a compound synonymous with steroid use), possession of marijuana, and possession of controlled dangerous substance in the presence of minor, the couple’s 3-year-old son.

Natalie Barton was charged with creation of clandestine lab, possession of GBL, possession of marijuana, and possession of controlled dangerous substance in the presence of minor.

Christopher Durel, identified as an employee of the operation, was charged with creation of clandestine lab and possession of GBL.

Officials said the investigation is ongoing to determine magnitude of the operation.

An unnamed relative of the Barton’s, who said they work with the couple in their home, said they have done nothing illegal.

According to a disclaimer on the website, “all research products offered by Liquid Research are intended for laboratory and research use only.”

METAIRIE, La. -- Investigators have arrested three people and the probe is expanding after chemicals were seized Tuesday in what officials are calling the largest drug bust in the history of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Edward Barton, 27, Natalie Barton, 25, and Christopher Durel, 26, face charges that include possession with intent to distribute an illegal substance, possession of a controlled substance and operating an illegal lab.

Tuesday at about 10:30 p.m., agents with the DEA and the Jefferson Parish Narcotics Unit, and members of the Jefferson Parish Fire Department and the U.S. Postal Inspector's Office confiscated more than a dozen containers from the home in the 4700 block of Tabony Street in Metairie. Hazardous materials crews were then brought in to help clear out the house.

Investigators said the Bartons were selling the substance GBL -- a precursor to the date rape drug GHB -- out of the home and over the Internet. The Bartons allegedly were operating under the company name NuRave Inc.

In addition to the chemicals, agents also seized marijuana from the home, Sheriff Harry Lee said.

The Bartons have a 3-year-old child. It was not immediately clear whether the child was in the home at the time of the arrests.

Investigators are analyzing computer data and customer lists seized in the raid, and more charges may be forthcoming.

Neighbors told WDSU NewsChannel 6 reporter Heath Allen that the residents of the home were new to the neighborhood, were friends of the homeowner and had moved in a couple of months ago. Neighbors said a man who lives at the home made his living selling a growth hormone.

I wouldnt wanna be on that list... Whats your thoughts JD?

BUSTINOUT · 02-04-2004, 06:57 PM

Lord knows I've been on plenty of puters of people that got nailed. Just clean house and play dumb. Close out any personal mailboxes.

BUSTINOUT · 02-04-2004, 07:01 PM

Also, this is just another reason to stay away from suppliers that screw with rec drugs. That is usually what gets their ass in a sling in the first place.

**Mudge** · 02-04-2004, 07:02 PM

They never sold rec drugs on thier site though, so you would never know...

JerseyDevil · 02-04-2004, 07:04 PM

I bet there will be a huge investigation into 'liquid research' companies in general. Just keeps getting better huh?

True. Too bad sources have to be dumbasses and are willing to put their clients at risk...STUPID.

**Mudge** · 02-04-2004, 07:21 PM

For those that thought certain illegal substances would garnish no attention, obviously they were wrong. How or why they were payed attention to though I dont know, popularity sometimes is a bad thing.

Overall, it sucks ass, I'm sorry to hear of this.

plouffe · 02-04-2004, 07:33 PM

What's GBL?

PreMier · 02-04-2004, 07:34 PM

Like GHB.

plouffe · 02-04-2004, 07:51 PM

Damn.. I'm real sad to see this company go under.

maddog1 · 02-05-2004, 07:53 AM

If it comes, it may come attached with a DEA agent/Postal inspector. If I were you, I would hope that I would not get it.

Yeah right, with a cop or postal inspector if at all. Do you know what busted means? Those guys are still "up and running" to catch any new fish I'm sure.

Bro we dont know any of that for sure, the feds love to tell lies. They said DL was raking in 300k in sales monthlhy, thats bullshit.

They also said Animal had barrels of the same thing in his garage, it was gasoline. They also have not yet returned 50 grand worth of personal property he has to go through the courts STILL to try and get back, and this was close to 2 years ago now.

You cant trust a fed sadly, a story is nothing but a story.

**Mudge** · 02-05-2004, 10:14 AM

Come on man, they just got busted and you think they are sitting at home filling orders?

BUSTINOUT · 02-05-2004, 10:19 AM

NEVER trust a fed, a DA, and rarely a cop.

When it comes to these issues, it would be easier to find a holy person in soddam and gamorah, than to find a Fed, cop, DA that knew a damn thing.

Jimmyboy, you better clean house my friend. That's all I can tell you.

**dg806** · 02-05-2004, 10:19 AM

Well I am sure it was the rec drugs that got them busted. If not for that they may have not been busted. But by chance it was the other research chemicals that got them busted, more will soon follow. But I don't expect that. I also see our site sponser carries viagra/cialis. I would definatly pull that ASAP!

X Ring · 02-05-2004, 10:45 AM

so nolva isnt legal w/o a script? I was going to use that instead of 6-oxo if I did a PH cycle, probably with 4-ad then next cycle Transdermal 4ad and m1t (transdermal or oral dont know yet). I would prefer to stay legal, especially since I am trying to get into law school
Thanks guys

**dg806** · 02-05-2004, 10:52 AM

Not legal without a rx......

X Ring · 02-05-2004, 11:39 AM

hmm so maybe the m1t, 4ad cycle isnt a good idea, but since both m1t and 4ad are legal (for now at least) and there is no punishment for having nolva wouldnt the only be a concern of legal issue be to those who are using illegal gear and nolva as a PCT. I mean if the fed found you ordered that and 4ad and m1t but no illegal stuff they wouldnt do anything right??
Sorry for all the newbie questions lately just tryin to get myself edgimacated.
