Victoria male extradited to United States for Importation of Methamphetamine

On February 23rd , 2006, members of the RCMP Island District Drug Section arrested a thirty-five (35) year old Victoria resident for the importation of crystal methamphetamine into the United States from Canada. The arrest was made after a year long investigation in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration in New Jersey.

On July 7th, 2005 Douglas James SHARPLES of Victoria was charged in Newark, New Jersey for the importation of methamphetamine after it is alleged that Mr SHARPLES was shipping crystal methamphetamine from Victoria to New Jersey through the mail system after he received drug orders through the internet.

After his arrest on February 23rd, 2006 Mr SHARPLES has been held in a Canadian jail awaiting his extradition to the United States.

Last week Mr SHARPLES was surrendered to the American authorities after the Minister of Justice ordered his surrender.

Mr SHARPLES will now appear in court in New Jersey where if he is found guilty he may face a sentence of ten years.

The defendant, Douglas J. Sharples, a 35-year-old, was arrested at his residence without incident on Thursday, February 23, 2006 by the RCMP. This arrest was in concert with a joint federal narcotic investigation that involved crystal methamphetamine sold over the internet. The DEA New Jersey Division utilized an undercover agent to purchase high purity crystal methamphetamine from Sharples. The DEA undercover purchased several times from Sharples utilizing the internet and Sharples packaged and mailed the crystal methamphetamine to New Jersey.

Acting SAC Collier stated “The internet is a tool for the 21st century drug trafficker…however; we at the DEA will continue to be vigilant against all e-traffickers that try to conceal their illegal activity by using the internet as a safe haven. Furthermore, the public should be warned that this drug has extremely anti-social implications.”

Arrested on 02-23-2006, was the following defendant:

1. Douglas J. Sharples, DOB: 01-24-1971, 507-1010 View Street, Victoria BC, Canada

Acting SAC Collier credited the cooperation of all the agencies involved in this narcotic internet investigation. Acting SAC Collier stressed that “the cooperation between international and domestic law enforcement agencies is always paramount to the successes that we have here at the DEA.”

Defendant Sharples will be appearing in Victoria provincial court for a first appearance and scheduling of a bail hearing. Further, Sharples is awaiting an extradition hearing to the United States on federal importation charges.

The investigation is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey headed by U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie. Jonathan Romankow is the Assistant United States Attorney who will represent the Government.

Notwithstanding the criminal complaint, every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt following a trial at which the defendant has all of the trial rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and federal law.

Well what about the guy that sells a bottle of whisky to a guy that kills a family 30 mins later . Or the guy that gives a customer just that one more drink in the bar ? Or the student that gives his buddy some E & he kills himself . Hell we can go on & on & compare till the cows come home . He got caught he will do time our lives will go on . People will come & go off these sites maybe one day he will be back on one of these sites . its amazing how these things that don't even effect our own lives we get so caught up in other peoples shit . We make it a point to cut them down to be the lowest of low people . But in real life most of you wouldn't have the balls to tell him to his face , since you would know he would kick your pussy ass's . people screw up & people can change . just my 02

Interesting post so far... on that same note, that means anyone can be responsible for anything these days,, ej. giving someone attitude, cause that person to giv attidude to others, which one of the ppl getting attitude from guy#2 goes out and punches someone and sends him to the hospital! bottom line everybody knows what there taking when asking/ordering for drugs. He ist responsible for stupid people wanting to do drugs,, he is guilty of selling drugs to stupid ppl who wanna do drugs

[ergie]

"the guy that sells a bottle of whisky to a guy that kills a family 30 mins later"

Oldtimer lol lol I don't know weather to kiss you or light one up with you . either one would be deadly for you . lol

[ergie]

Please dont kiss me :)

I hated the guy myself. Sold crap gear and rec drugs so I avoided him. A few buddies got burned from him and other mods at CJM with their fake junk.

GOod riddance to him IMO.
Sorry to anyone who liked him, I hate to sound like an ass but that was my experience with the dude.

wut! PVL prop 400 is the bomb! you must not be eating properly. lol.

[BAM]

If he was a scammer, then let him rot.. In my eyes a scammer is a lower life form than a meth dealer and probably lies somewhere next to rat and diddler. I hope he gets a cell between a pair. And know, I do not know him personally, just my opinion of scammers.
