[February 28th, 2009] by Millard Baker
Scott Siegel, the actor who played a steroid dealer in “The Wrestler”, was arrested on steroid distribution charges. He was busted with 1,500 bottles of anabolic steroids and more than $100,000 in cash (”Steroids Arrest Leads To Assaulting Officers,” February 20).
Prosecutors say that when Scott Siegal, 33, was approached by law enforcement officers on Feb. 18, he fled in his car and intentionally hit several Eastchester Police Department cars and cars belonging to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
In addition, Siegel allegedly drove his car directly at an officer with the DEA’s Westchester County Drug Enforcement Task Force in an apparent attempt to run him over.
Scott Siegel was charged with one count of distributing and possessing with intent to distribute anabolic steroids and one count of assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, and interfering with officers and employees of an agency of the U.S. Government while engaged in and on account of the performance of official duties. If convicted, Siegel faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
