OCALA - A Gainesville man stopped by law enforcement officials Friday for erratic driving was taken into custody after officials found three vials of anabolic steroids in his truck.
At approximately 9:45 a.m., a bulletin was issued about a red Ford pickup swerving while traveling northbound on Interstate 75 from Sumter County into Marion County.
A Florida Department of Transportation official followed the vehicle and noticed it was moving side to side and almost struck a guard rail.
The official signaled the driver to pull over, which he did.
Jeffrey Douglas Tobin, 40, told the official his license was suspended for two offenses. He gave authorization to search the vehicle and the vials were found in a black bag on the front seat.
Federal law placed anabolic steroids in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act as of Feb. 27, 1991.
Tobin was arrested and charged with three counts of possession of anabolic steroids and driving while license is suspended or revoked, and was taken to the Marion County Jail.
