Man in steroids case sentenced
Bowling Green resident given three years of probation

A Bowling Green man was sentenced Tuesday in federal court for a crime involving steroids.

Shon Dewayne Dean, 35, was given three years of probation by U.S. District Judge Joseph McKinley Jr.

Dean pleaded guilty in May in U.S. District Court to possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids.

At his sentencing hearing Tuesday, Dean said he made “a lot of mistakes” and wished to move on with his life after the sentencing.

“I take responsibility for my actions and I apologize for my actions,” Dean said.

Dean first came to law enforcement’s attention in 2009 following an investigation by the Kentucky State Police Drug Enforcement/Special Investigations West Branch.

According to documents filed in Warren Circuit Court, a confidential informant told police he had been buying anabolic steroids and syringes from Dean.

From there, the informant arranged and conducted three separate 2009 drug transactions with Dean - on March 3, April 29 and May 6 - in which the informant bought two bottles of steroids each time for $220.

Police executed a search warrant of Dean’s home on May 6, 2009, and recovered 25 bottles of a performance-enhancing drug called Anabolic Edge, 10 bottles of other steroids, including liquid albuterol, and multiple syringes, among other items, according to a copy of the warrant.

Dean originally faced charges in state court of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, but the state case was superseded by a felony information that charged him with the federal offense.

The federal information claimed that Dean possessed the steroids and intended to distribute them between January 2008 and May 6, 2009.

The charge carries a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison, but federal sentencing guidelines took into account Dean’s lack of criminal history.

The plea agreement filed May 2 in federal court states that the anabolic steroids Dean possessed included testosterone, stanozolol, trenbolone and nadrolone decanoate, which are all designated as controlled substances and have been used illicitly as performance enhancers by some athletes.

Local law enforcement says that drug investigations involving steroids are rare, compared to those involving other controlled substances.

Stephanie Collins, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Kentucky, said that federal prosecutors tend to handle steroids cases more often than their counterparts in state court.

Recent cases involving steroids include the indictment last year by a federal grand jury in Bowling Green of Adam Parker of Dawson Springs on charges of illegally distributing and misbranding anabolic steroids and failing to register an establishment used to process, package and change labels on anabolic steroids.

In another federal case, 2006 Mr. Kentucky body building champion Kevin Revelette pleaded guilty last year to distributing anabolic steroids over an 18-month period and was sentenced to two years in prison.

Four co-defendants also pleaded guilty in that case and were sentenced, including Brandon Millay, a former community college professor in Owensboro who authorities said imported steroid powder from China and processed it into a liquid at his home. The product was then be sold in Owensboro and online.

glad they busted this major AAS mover.

**SFW** · 08-04-2011, 12:32 PM

bust of the century

I like how they mention "Multiple syringes."

**Vibrant** · 08-04-2011, 12:41 PM

this is bullshit (sorry for my language). i cant believe they busted a guy with a few vials of steroids. yet the dealers/users of cocaine, meth, oxy, heroin, go free. i know tons of high school kids hooked on dangerous drugs, yet LE doesnt differentiate between different drugs and bust aas users. lmao, "intent to distribute" with a few vials, what??

**Pittsburgh63** · 08-04-2011, 12:58 PM

Lol... hope they all feel proud of their efforts to take out these "bad guys". What a joke.

**KelJu** · 08-04-2011, 01:16 PM

ROFL, other steroids including albuterol and syringes. I can;' believe how fucking stupid those people sound. Justin Story is a faggot.

**SloppyJ** · 08-04-2011, 01:19 PM

Problem is he was selling them. That was their whole beef.

**TGB1987** · 08-04-2011, 01:27 PM

It is sickening the world we live in where AAS and Pot are demonized to be equal to Heroin and other drugs that kill and are addictive. I don't even consider AAS or Pot to be even as harmful as Alcohol or Tobacco but those are ok. Why don't the DEA go down the state store or the local bar and bust them for trafficing a deadly drug to the citizens.

This is ridiculous... what a waste of police resources and tax money...

**GMC1** · 08-04-2011, 03:17 PM

Well, I sure as hell feel safer that this 'roid rager' has been taught a lesson.

What a fucking waste of taxpayer dollars.

**tballz** · 08-04-2011, 03:22 PM

I hope that liquid albuterol doesn't entice the government to crack down on research chem companies.

I wonder what label was on it.

**pitbullguy0101** · 08-04-2011, 04:25 PM

what a waste of tax money.

**delcapone** · 08-04-2011, 04:44 PM

I highly doubt he was selling it. It was most likely part of the plea deal that kicked him down from 10 years in pound me in the ass penitentiary. Make it look worse than it is, lower the sentence, make a headline. This is no different then meth users or marijuana users for the "controlled substance." I recall there being some grey area of total possession that changes the individual user to a "seller."

**Call of Ktulu** · 08-04-2011, 07:43 PM

Police arresting AAS users when some Police use them.

**SilentBob187** · 08-04-2011, 08:14 PM

Wasn't Anabolic Edge a non-hormonal from PAL?

Read the article bro! WTF?

**vortex** · 08-04-2011, 09:52 PM

Sickening is the first word that comes to mind, as TGB stated. I'm not a lawyer, but this appears to me as selective prosecution.

the gov knows that if aas was legal there would be no multi billion supp industry where they make bank on

Agreed x100000000000

Don't drink or smoke cigarettes.

Though I occasionally smoke weed and am obviously on an AAS board for a reason.

Government is so fucked but arbitrary laws against aas and weed aren't even the beginning of the bull shit machine.

**Calves of Steel** · 08-04-2011, 10:50 PM

wow multiple syringes!! Most people only use one! He must be selling them one at a time to multiple people!

I did read the article and its common for plea deals to be made to reduce sentences. In order for the sentence to be reduced they usually over hype the incident. It may not be common knowledge but I have family in LE and Law. It is the way the system works, it is the way scare tactics are put into place to discourage such actions. I don't care what the article "STATES" as its not always the truth. If he was pushing them the way the article makes it sound he wouldn't get just probation.

Did a search for "anabolic edge." I can buy that at bodybuilding.com. Doesn't belong in the article but the name makes it feel legit.

10 bottles of other steroids? Ill have to do a google for classification of "other steroids."

Liquid albuterol...HOLY SHIT...My five year old son has a bottle of this when the doctors thought he has asthma(thankfully he does not).

Multiple syringes...Shame on him for being careful injecting. Its also not illegal in some places in CA to possess these, maybe its the case in bowling green.

Other items? Maybe they found some hardcore caffeine, or some GNC muscle pump, or penis pills.

Now with all the talks of steroids in sports its no wonder they were attempting to make an example out of this one guy. A-Rod gets away with it, but lets pin down the average joe. I read it, I understand it, I don't believe it. Propaganda in the media...NO!!!! They wouldn't do that would they. They report the truth, right? They wouldn't hype up a situation and change wording to sell an extra copy or two, would they?

you got me there mr 16 posts. I never said it wasnt what happened, but that i was skeptical. You on the other hand are gullible. I have a dick for sale to be inserted in your ass for cheap. Call me, well set it up.

Glad you believe everything you read. We all know the internet is all true, as well as media. Gullible.
