Two police officers in New Jersey scored double when they discovered illegal drugs in the house where they were executing a domestic violence restraining order.

Officers Sean O’Neill and Cristopher Schirripa of the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office were authorized to search the house for weapons but instead discovered a cache of illegal drugs and paraphernalia. The officers found 233 hypodermic syringes, 31 vials of anabolic steroids, under 50 grams of marijuana, and three ecstasy pills.

Jonathan Lester, the proud owner of the house at Howell Township, was not initially at the place but showed up when he was called up by the officers. Lester, 24, was later charged with possession of controlled dangerous substances (steroids and ecstasy), possession with intent to distribute (steroids), possession with intent to distribute drug paraphernalia (syringes), possession of under 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sheriff Kim Guadagno said the finding was significant because “the use and distribution of anabolic steroids is a serious issue particularly this time of year when high school sports are in full swing. It’s important for parents to be aware that this type of illegal activity exists.“
