Playing Possum with Anabolic Steroids in Your Automobile
July 31, 2008 by Millard Baker
It is never advisable to store anabolic steroid tablets, vials, and/or related paraphernalia in your automobile even if it is hidden in your glove compartment. A simple traffic misdemeanor could lead to the discovery of your steroid stash (especially if you unknowingly waive your rights during a traffic stop and allow police to search your vehicle). Instead of a simple speeding ticket and/or traffic misdemeanor, you could be facing a steroid possession or steroid distribution charge.
Even if you never speed and always obey posted traffic signs, you never know when a possum might dart out on the road in front of you leading to unforeseen consequences (”Mont Alto man charged with steroid possession in W.Va,” July 30).
A motorist who told police he was attempting to dodge a possum Tuesday morning when he traveled off the edge of Scrabble Road was charged with possession of a controlled substance (anabolic steroids), according to Berkeley County Magistrate Court records.
Robert Justin Moxley of 606 Park St., Mont Alto, Pa., was arraigned by Magistrate Harry L. Snow, who set a $5,000 bond for the case, records show.
Moxley, 31, told police he was about to begin using the steroids found in the Ford F-150 he was driving in an “eight-week cycle,” according to a complaint filed with the court by West Virginia State Police Trooper C.S. Maynard.
“Just say no to police searches during traffic stops” and it is also a good idea to never conceal steroids in your car and… watch out for possum.
