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.
