Bucks man faces drug charges
By HARRY YANOSHAK A former health club worker from Northampton has been accused of selling cocaine and anabolic steroids, according to police. Aaron Weiner, 22, of East Gate Court in Northampton's Holland section, was arrested Tuesday on felony drug charges as police searched the home he shared with his parents, Northampton Detective Chuck Pinkerton said Thursday. More arrests are possible, he said. Weiner was a fitness trainer at a local health club, but police declined to name the club because there was no evidence to tie the business into the drug charges, the detective said. Weiner's lawyer, Michael Parlow, declined to comment on the case because he hadn't seen the police report. Weiner is being held in the Bucks County Prison; he was arraigned Tuesday on the charges before District Justice H. Warren Hogeland, who set bail at $300,000, or $150,000 for each drug charge alleged in the affidavit, Northampton police Chief M. Barry Pilla Jr. said. The county adult probation department also ordered Weiner detained in prison for a probation violation, police said. According to police, Weiner sold cocaine and 49 pills of the anabolic steroid methandrostenolone to a person who was working with police on two occasions in July. The sales took place at his parents' house in Northampton, where drugs and paraphernalia were found during the search, police said. The steroid allegedly sold is also known as Dianabol, or D-Bol. It has a street name of "British Dragon." It's a controlled drug that's also used in the veterinary field to treat cattle and horses, according to Web sites. Some bodybuilders, however, obtain the drug illegally to build muscle. The recent charges aren't Weiner's first brush with the law. Court records show that in 2001 and 2002, he pleaded guilty to a series of crimes that included possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft of a motor vehicle, making false reports to police and leaving the scene of an accident. He was sentenced to six months to 23 months in the county prison and then placed on probation, the records show. |
