Three people were arrested on felony drug complaints after an undercover drug buy led to a raid on a home in Moore, Oklahoma. The drug raid revealed an illegal steroid lab, according to a spokesman from the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.  

Manufacture of Performance Enhancing Drugs

During the search of the home, the police found that the individuals were in possession of drug paraphernalia, including steroid powder and liquid, empty pill capsules and presses, syringes, labeling equipment, and glass vials and sealers. The three individuals arrested are accused of manufacturing their own brand of steroids, and have been jailed on complaints of numerous felony drug crimes, including conspiracy to manufacture steroids and possession with intent to distribute. Oklahoma drug laws impose stiff penalties.

Punishments for Drug Manufacturing

Illegal manufacturing of drugs can result in a felony drug conviction, prison time, and a fine of up to $100,000.  Even for the first offense, a possession of drugs for sale or possession of drugs for distribution conviction can result in a sentence of life in prison.  With illegal distribution of drugs, the punishment can vary depending on the type and amount of drug, the location of the distribution, and whether the drugs were brought in through international trafficking.  

In the Moore, Oklahoma illegal drug manufacturing case, those arrested are suspected of bringing the steroid powder in from China, which could lead to    more severe punishment if convicted.
