Bodybuilder arrested in steroids raid, By: Rod Ohira

A bodybuilder was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of possessing steroids following a police narcotics/vice raid on a Pu'uloa home.

The 38-year-old man, booked for investigation of first- and second-degree promotion of harmful drugs, was still in police custody today.

Narcotics/Vice Division Capt. Kerry Inouye said charges are pending lab test results of what he describes as a "significant amount" of what is believed to be steroids seized in a warrant search of the man's home.

Police acted on a tip and intercepted a package containing drugs before it was delivered to the man's house.

The man arrested competed in a national bodybuilding contest seven years ago but is not known to Mits Kawashima, who will be presenting the 29th anniversary Hawaiian Islands Bodybuilding Championships on June 30.
