Euless man arrested after steroid bust

A Tarrant County task force arrested a man in Euless on Wednesday who they suspect was dealing steroids.
Police seized the drugs, worth $14,500 on the street, after they executed a search warrant. Task force members said the arrest a big step forward in fighting the growing steroid problem in North Texas.
Narcotics officers found nearly 400 grams of anabolic steroids in tablet and syringe form after entering an apartment belonging to 27-year-old Charles Jeffrey Hall.
"Just because it's not cocaine or heroin doesn't mean we're not going to aggressively prosecute these," said Tarrant County assistant district attorney David Hagerman.
Hagerman works with the county's Narcotics Task Force. He said this bust is the first for them this year - but they expect more.
"They're becoming more common as time goes by," he said.
And concerns are starting to increase, especially among high school athletes. Just last week, parents and students packed a seminar at Colleyville Heritage High School after 10 football players there admitted to using.
"I think the key is to move forward, to learn from our own experiences and others," said Colleyville Heritage football coach Chris Cunningham. "(We'll) take steps toward education in this area with a proactive approach involving all those who touch the lives of the people that we care so much about."
Another came forward from Carroll High School in Southlake, but after an investigation school officials there reported this week that they found no signs of steroid use among others.
Experts still maintain teen usage is growing because of the need to win coveted positions on teams. But doctors fear what the youngsters don't see is the dangerous side effects of depression, liver disease and aggressive behavior.
"Who knows what damage the aggressive behavior may cause or have caused,"
Authorities won't say if Hall is connected to the current high school investigations.
"I don't want to pass judgment on that until our investigation is complete," Hagerman said. "Sometimes these things take on a life of their own and you may think there's not a connection, but one the investigation is completed there may be one."
Charles Hall is out of jail after he posted a bond of $21,000. He faces six counts of possession with the intent to deliver the controlled substances.
Once the case is accepted by the District Attorney's office, it will be forwarded to a grand jury.
