A state trooper was arrested Wednesday accused of having steroids sent to his Chester County home.
Trooper Joseph W. Czachorowski is suspended without pay pending the resolution of the charges, state police announced.
Czachorowski came under suspicion when a U.S. postal inspector intercepted a parcel addressed to him and got a federal search warrant for it, police said. Along with a state police investigator, the inspector discovered 30 Oxymetholone pills and two vials of Trenbolone acetate, both steroids and Schedule III controlled substances.
An additional search warrant for Czachorowski’s home resulted in additional controlled substances being recovered.
Czachorowski is charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, a small amount of marijuana and instruments of a crime, according to police. He enlisted with the state police in November 2014 and was assigned to Troop K, which covers the Philadelphia area.
Charges were filed in Chester County, where he was arraigned and released on $7500 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 17.
