Officials accuse man of selling steroids

A Camarillo man suspected of possessing and selling anabolic steroids, human growth hormones and other drugs was arrested for the second time in less than two years on Thursday morning by federal authorities.
Tyrone John Stansbeary, 40, a former government-subcontracted employee at Naval Base Ventura County, was indicted on several counts of trafficking steroids from his Camarillo home in the 1500 block of Jose Avenue, officials said.
Agents from the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Food and Drug Administration and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service allege that Stansbeary used his time while working for Information Spectrum Inc. as a contract employee for the United States Department of Defense at the Camarillo Airport to contact perspective customers online and sell wholesale quantities of anabolic steroids.
Stansbeary appeared before a federal judge in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon on multiple counts of mail fraud, possession of human growth hormone with the intent to distribute, illegal wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, and possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.
He is not eligible for bail now and will be in court Monday to enter a plea, at which time a judge will be assigned to the case, officials said.
Several armed federal agents surrounded his home, with the help of the FBI's Special Weapons and Tactics team, about 6 a.m. to take him into custody.
Residents were awakened by three loud bangs from light-sound diversionary devices that were used to distract Stansbeary.
"I didn't know what was going on," said Al Sexton, a resident in the area for 28 years. "It didn't sound like gunshots. It was like two cars hitting, but it happened three times. Then I saw them outside, in front of the house."
Authorities say they used the SWAT team and that amount of force as a precaution to avoid any violent incident with Stansbeary, who, they said, is associated with the Mongols motorcycle club.
It was the second time authorities had arrested Stansbeary. A state search warrant was issued at his home on May 2003. He and his wife were arrested on suspicion of possessing and selling steroids and crystal methamphetamine.
At the time, police said they found a large amount of illegal pharmaceutical and veterinarian drugs from Mexico in a truck with Stansbeary. Inside the couple's home, investigators reported finding 100 vials of steroids and drug paraphernalia in 2003.
Cases against both Stansbearys were later dropped, however.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman with the U.S. Attorney's Office, said little is known about the previous arrest but he noted that authorities are ready to prosecute him now.
In an indictment unsealed Thursday afternoon, authorities say Stansbeary used the federal computers during hours of employment and frequented bodybuilding Web sites and online chat rooms to communicate with perspective customers. He opened a Postal Expressions mailbox and used it to conduct his business, officials said.
The products he sold at wholesale quantities, authorities allege, came from Mexico and Europe. On one occasion, he used shredded documents from his workplace that were supposed to be burned as packaging materials to send with the products.
He described the items mailed as computer parts on shipping and mailing documents, officials said. Copyright 2005, Ventura County Star. All Rights Reserved.
