This bodybuilder ran a steroid trafficking ring and threatened to fight against the National Guard.
The protests that have swept the globe over police violence has seen it’s fair share of participants. The vast majority of those protesting are doing so in a peaceful manner. These peaceful protestors are hoping to get their voices heard and bring about meaningful change.
But no everyone present at these protests have virtuous intentions. While many have been hung up on the looters and rioters, there are those at the protests with their own unique agenda.
An alleged member of the ‘Boogaloo’ movement, prosecutors say Archibald took to social media to make his intentions known. He stated that he planned on ‘hunting Antifa’ and even threatened to ‘kill’ looters if he had the chance. He allegedly also advocated for deploying ‘guerilla warfare’ against the National Guard.
But the story of Philip Russell Archibald gets even stranger.
Apparently the bodybuilder and personal trainer also ran a steroid trafficking ring. Talk about having your finger in many pies. Archibald was charged with conspiring to sell steroids.
In March of 2019, agents had discovered Archibald’s fingerprints on a bag of steroids, the same bag sold by his partner in crime Danielle Bocanegra to an undercover officer. Last July he was also followed by agents to his local post office where Archibald allegedly mailed 64 red capsules containing steroid compounds.
On June 8 investigators searched Archibald’s home finding steroids and multiple firearms. Archibald is currently being detained pending trial.
