Watertown Man Accused of Manufacturing Steroids

Police have arrested a 31-year-old man accused of manufacturing steroids in his Watertown apartment.

Reid Behrle, of 306 Woodbury Road in Watertown, is facing a string of drug charges, including possession of narcotics within 1500 feet of a school, possession with intent to sell and operating a drug factory.

Officers searched his apartment and found a registered DEA encapsulation machine, empty pill capsules, powder and liquid steroids, Xanax pills and drug manufacturing products, police said.
