Albuquerque couple accused of trafficking steroids | Albuquerque Journal News
New Mexico Steroid Dealers Busted for the Third Time in Four Years
New Mexico Steroid Dealers Busted for the Third Time in Four Years
Ruben and Claudine Jaramillo have the distinction of being the New Mexico steroid dealers who have been busted a record three times in the past four years. The most recent arrest came on September 22, 2014. The couple was already serving a 5-year probationary sentence for a previous steroid-trafficking offense.
The couple ran into trouble with the law for their steroid dealing ways on two previous occasions in August 2010 and November 2011.
The most recent arrest came after an employee at the United States Postal Inspection Service notified local law enforcement authorities of a package containing stanozolol (aka Winstrol) that was addressed to an address in northeast Albuquerque.
Federal agents with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations arranged a “controlled delivery” of the package. Agents immediately arrested Ruben Jaramillo once he picked up the steroid package.
The arrest triggered the execution of a search warrant on the Jaramillo family residence. Police discovered and seized more than 100 vials of injectable anabolic steroids that were stored in a freezer and in the “bottom of his stove”.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Albuquerque Metropolitan Court, Ruben Jaramillo was charged with trafficking a controlled substance, child abuse and conspiracy. Claudine Jaramillo was charged with possession of a controlled substance, child abuse and conspiracy. Both individuals were booked into the Bernalillo Metropolitan Detention Center.
The 2014 charges, including the child abuse charges, are similar to the charges faced by the couple in 2010 and 2011. The basis for the child abuse charges in the case arises from a New Mexico law involving the manufacture of controlled substances. When children are presence at the location where the chemicals and/or equipment for the manufacture of anabolic steroids (controlled substances) are used or stored, prosecutors can choose to file child abuse charges in addition to drug charges.
In 2011, the Jaramillos were busted for operating the underground lab (UGL) that manufactured steroids under the “Gold Bull Pharma” label.
In 2010, the Jaramillos were arrested as the resellers of various steroids and ancillary drugs that they imported from Egypt and Cyprus. They also reportedly manufactured trenbolone acetate by converting Finaplix cattle pellet implants into an injectable solution for use by bodybuilders and athletes.
In the past, the couple sold steroids to both local customers (at the Albuquerque-based “Detailed Fitness” gym) and customers around the country (sold via the Internet).
A more substantial sentence likely awaits the couple given they are already on probation and that this is the couple's third offense related to steroid distribution in just over four years. The effect that the couple's legal troubles, specifically the child abuse charges, could potentially have on child custody remains to be seen.
