Calderon stated the bindles contained creatine for his workouts. Deputy Torres noted the quantity in the bindles was not consistent with the amount of creatine regularly used for the athletic purposes Calderon so claimed.
There was $874 in cash found in the front cabin.
Calderon told Deputy Torres the drugs belonged to a woman who was not present. Deputy Torres noted many of the bottles indeed had that woman’s name on them, however the anabolic steroids for which Calderon was charged did not have prescription labels attached.
Calderon was taken to jail.
