Miami Officer John I. Fedak, a U.S. Marine reservist who recently completed a tour in Iraq, has been arrested on charges of buying steroids through the mail, police said.
...
''It's always disappointing when you have to investigate and arrest your own,'' said Miami Detective Delrish Moss, a spokesman.

Fedak, 26, was cuffed late Wednesday, charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Miami internal affairs investigators ''received information'' that Fedak, six-foot-two, 175 pounds, had been buying steroids for his own use.

Detectives teamed up with Miami-Dade police, the FBI and U.S. postal inspectors to send a phony delivery -- a package containing four vials of steroids -- to Fedak's home.

Fedak, knowing the package contained steroids, signed for the delivery and was arrested, according to his arrest report.

Fedak posted $5,000 bail Thursday and was released from Miami-Dade County Jail. Hired in 2004, he served on the department's SWAT Team.

Fedak did not return a phone call from The Miami Herald.

I'd say this was an example of sending a message to the end user in general, as well as to steroid using police. If they are willing to bust a member of a SWAT team for 4 (F O U R) vials of steroids...

I wonder if a good lawyer could get him off of everything by showing he was targeted to set an example. I rather suspect that most of his colleagues are not 175 pounds at 6'2". He must have pissed somebody off for them to be willing to ruin his career over (maybe) one cycle worth of gear.
