> 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.
