West Warwick Man Pleads To Intending To Distribute Steroids

PROVIDENCE, RI — A West Warwick man pleaded guilty to intending to distribute steroids.

Edmond Paolucci, 67, was scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 21. He faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

"According to court documents, investigators executed a search warrant at Paolucci’s residence and seized more than 128,000 pills and more than 1,000 liquid-filled glass vials containing at least seven different steroids and other pharmaceuticals," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a media release. "Additional controlled substances were recovered from a post office box linked to the investigation."

Paolucci pleaded to possession with intent to distribute mesterolone, according to the release.

Mesterolone is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid, per the National Library of Medicine.
