This sounds more then what we read into it!
I am willing to bet these were not 2 good bro's and was wanted off the streets and this is the way they got them.
No good bro need weapon laying around ready for use.
When i was younger and sold meth 20 plus years back I had cops tell me they new what I was doing and didn't care they said you are a good guy we want the bad guys but if you start becoming a bad guy we will get you and they said all you have to do is not show you have some much traffic (as I didn't) and nobody will know what your doing but make it obvious then we have to stop you.
I still to today find this to be very true because most best if it's not from an idiot it's a criminal or a bro making himself too widely known.
How many time have you are a freind been pulled over and have weed on you and not get arrested shit they would even give it back at times or just rub it out on the street ( that sucked) I haven't been in the drug World in over 20 years but somethings just don't change.
These dude were not sources IMO but criminals!
"Manteca police located more than 2 pounds of various types of steroids in powder form awaiting manufacture into liquid for injection. More than 200 doses had already been produced and more were awaiting packaging, police said.
The suspects were also producing oral supplements such as Creatine in capsule form, as well as capsules of Viagra and Cialis variations to counteract the effects of steroids on the body, police said. Various products used for the manufacture of steroid products were found throughout the residence."
Sounds like they were both.
