A Massachusetts firefighter was arrested after selling anabolic steroids to his personal drug dealer. Michael Wilson, of the Attleboro Fire Department, sold a 25-milliliter bottle of “T-400” to a drug dealer that had been providing him with Oxyc0ntin. His drug dealer became a confidential source for the DEA. Several recorded phone conversations and text message records were obtained to incriminate Wilson. Wilson was charged with two felony drug charges involving the possession and distribution of oxycodone and anabolic steroids.
“We do not condone this behavior and nobody here supports it. We’re all really saddened that it got to this point,” Attleboro Fire Chief Scott LaChance told reporters. LaChance said that steroid use was an isolated event in his department.
“T-400” is a high-concentration version of testosterone that was first introduced by a Mexican veterinary drug company named Denkall. Denkall discontinued its production after the Department of Justice shut down numerous Mexican vet companies during Operation Gear Grinder in 2005. However, due to its popularity, counterfeiters have since continued to produce Test 400 under the Denkall label.
Counterfeit steroid manufacturers have recently introduced a giant 25-milliliter bottle of Denkall Test 400 that provides a whopping 10,000 milligrams of steroids. Steroids are typically sold in 10-milliliter vials at a concentration of 200 mg/ml or 2,000mg per vial. The counterfeit versions of T-400 are reasonably dosed according to anecdotal reports.
It was not clear why Wilson offered to sell steroids to his Oxycontin source. Perhaps it to show his appreciation for hooking him up with oxycodone on numerous occasions. Wilson had purchased relatively small quantities of the drug on at least four occasions from his dealer.
During the drug sting, Wilson arranged to purchase 100 30-milligram Oxycontins at $18 each. A friend also participated in the transaction and provided $1100 cash. The confidential sources paid Wilson $250 for the Denkall Test 400.
Wilson faces up to 20 years in prison. If convicted, sentencing could be influence by his prior criminal record which involves bribery of a public official, shoplifting, breaking and entering and assault.
