Long Island Man Arrested in Huge Steroid Bust



Police arrested a 39-year-old Long Island man after they found eight kilos of anabolic steroid powder and several gallons of the liquid, along with painkillers and thousands of empty glass vials during a search of his home Wednesday.

Authorities say Antonio Daddi, of North Merrick, allegedly picked up one kilogram of synthetic anabolic steroids from a shipping location in the Merrick area Wednesday afternoon. That night, local and federal authorities executed a search warrant on Daddi's home and found the drugs and paraphernalia.

In addition to the steroids, they found 49 ********* pills, 69 ******** pills, 10,000 empty glass vials, 150,000 empty capsules and other painkillers.

Daddi was charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

He's expected to be arraigned Thursday. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
