The Manhattan high school teacher busted for ordering a date rape drug so potent that it has been called “coma in a bottle” was likely peddling the dangerous substance, according to a law enforcement source.
A raid of Steven Rich’s Manhattan apartment revealed a cache of MDMA, more than 30 oxycodone pills, and bottles of gamma-Butyrolactone, also known as GBL. A controlled substance, GBL is converted in the body into the potent knockout drug GHB.
The 51-year-old teacher at Harlem’s Thurgood Marshall Academy had ordered around seven pounds of the liquid drug through the mail — and it was seized by US Customs and Border Patrol prior to his arrest.
More bottles of the potent intoxicant were found in his Hell’s Kitchen pad.
