Police officers accused in steroid ring bust
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080328/NEWS03/803280435/1...
Investigations into anabolic steroid use by police officers have led to
resignations and terminations in at least two Middle Tennessee police
agencies.

Officers from Metro police and Murfreesboro police have been implicated in
the wide-reaching steroid bust and an accompanying federal investigation. At
the same time, two officers from the Tennessee Highway Patrol were put on
paid administrative leave as part of an unspecified internal investigation.

Murfreesboro Police Officer Phillip Hatcher was fired Wednesday after he was
found to be using steroids, according to a press release. He was stripped of
his police powers last week after police officials learned he was part of a
federal investigation.
According to a letter from Murfreesboro Police Chief Glenn Chrisman to the
city manager, Hatcher admitted he had been injecting steroids since high
school.

Officers on leave from the THP are Sgt. Larry Hitchcock Jr., 36, and Trooper
William D. Futrell, also 36. Hitchcock was assigned to the Nashville
headquarters and worked previously at the THP training center. Futrell was
most recently assigned to the THP training center.

THP officials confirmed early this month they were looking into allegations
of steroid use among troopers. But THP spokesman Mike Browning said he could
not confirm whether these suspensions are related.

He also said he didn't know whether criminal charges were anticipated. "It's
still too early in the investigation, so it would be premature one way or
another," Browning said.
