Deputies discover illegal stash of steroids in county
A tip from a Texas law enforcement officer has led to the investigation and subsequent arrest of a Decatur County man reportedly involved in dealing with illegal anabolic steroids, according to Chief Sheriff’s Investigator Frank Green. Green said Decatur County law enforcement agencies were contacted by the Texas officer in regard to shipments of the illegal steroids, which were reportedly being shipped to a Decatur County resident, Brandon B. Johnson, 23, of 141 Hand Road, Bainbridge. Investigator Chip Owens continued the investigation, and, following the delivery of a package of the drugs to Johnson, placed him under arrest.
A search warrant for Johnson’s house was obtained, Green said, and as a result, officers discovered and seized the illegal anabolic steroids as well as other drug paraphernalia, including some which the investigators have yet to identify. The officer said the drugs apparently came into the United States from Mexico. The Texas officer also told Decatur County officers that a similar package of the steroids was sent to an address in Kentucky. Green said that the investigation is continuing and more arrests are pending. Johnson was booked on four charges of possession of controlled substances and one charge of possession of marijuana.
