A Vian resident named Bobby Brown, 38, has been found guilty on two out of three felony counts. He was found guilty of possession and distribution of a controlled substance to persons less than 21 years of age.
According to the statement issued by US Attorney Sheldon Sperling, there was lack of evidence that Brown distributed or manufactured steroids in or near schools.
Sperling said testimonies established that Brown distributed steroids to several Vian High School football players. He also helped administer the drug.
The time of drug sales was between March 2006 and June 2008. Brown was sentenced to spend at least four years and 3 months to five years and 3 months in jail.
The case was related to the steroids case of two law enforcement officers who were indicted by the grand jury due to steroid distribution. Both pleaded guilty to charges.
McIntosh County reserve deputy officer Dusty Lee Burns, 29, of Checotah and Jimmy Russell “Rusty” Hamm II, 31, of Checotah, and a former Creek Nation Lighthorseman still await their sentence.
Burns pleaded guilty in October to charges that he sold anabolic steroids while Hamm pleaded guilty in September to possession of steroids with intent to distribute.
