Gymvet – Internet Steroid Source Busted in Kentucky

The Owensboro Police Department in Kentucky seized 150 vials of anabolic steroids when they busted Charles Jowers on August 21, 2008. They also seized $200,000 cash along with a car and motorcycle. He has been alleged to have sold steroids on various bodybuilding forums under the following handles – “HCP,” “QGL Rep,” “Gymvet,” “The Champ,” and “HardcorePharm.” A steroid investigation by the Street Crimes Unit discovered that 47-year old Jowers shipped steroids via UPS (from a local Staples store) to customers (“Owensboro Steroid Trafficking Arrest,” August 22).

On Thursday night detectives from the Owensboro Police Department Street Crimes Unit arrested Charles M. Jowers of 2912 Legion Park Drive for Trafficking in a Controlled Substance (a 2nd Offense/Anabolic Steroids). An investigation revealed that Jowers shipped two packages in the last week through UPS from the Staples store located at 528 Southtown Boulevard that contained anabolic steroids. Detectives seized more than $200,000 in cash, 150 vials of anabolic steroids, a 2008 Nissan Altima, and a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Charles Jowers remains in custody at the Daviess County Detention Center; he will be arraigned on Monday. He was on probation for previously selling anabolic steroids over the Internet. We will publish more details as they become available.
