GEORGIA (WRDW) -- Four Georgia State Patrol troopers are accused of possessing and using anabolic steroids, according to the case report.
According to the report, the four troopers accused are Brian Reagin, Derek Jackson, Hal Wilson, Jr. and Doug LeCompte. The report states evidence taken from Reagin's personal cellphone allegedly implicated the four troopers. A warrant was issued for his cellphone on May 20th, and a report was issued on June 19.
Investigators say text messages between Wilson and Reagin in February allegedly contained information about injections, issues experienced by LeCompte while injecting a substance, and orders for several substances from the other troopers, including Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate, along with others.
According o the case report, text messages between Reagin and another person suggest the other person acted as the supplier and Reagin allegedly abused illegal anabolic steroids received by his brother.
The report also suggests Reagin acted as a distributor of steroids to Jackson, Wilson, LeCompte and another person identified as "Brandon Stapleton," over a period between January and March of 2015.
In messages obtained by two investigators, Reagin may have used the United States Postal Service for a couple of months to ship orders of illegal steroids.
Court Documents state Jackson originally considered not taking the steroids allegedly given to him by Reagin, but ultimately decided to inject himself. Additionally, Reagin allegedly asked Jackson to forward an order of steroids to Wilson, and Wilson allegedly asked Jackson to forward LeCompte steroids, that added up to several bottles worth. This supposedly took place when Jackson was assigned to Field Training Officer training.
The report states Jackson allegedly admitted to using the steroids to investigators, and stated he should have had the department's best interests when he claims Reagin reached out to him about steroids. Jackson also supposedly told investigators nobody forced him to doing steroids. Authorities also say Jackson claims he did not assist anybody else receive illegal steroids besides LeCompte and Wilson.
Wilson allegedly told investigators about his conversations with Reagin and LeCompte about steroids. The report states he did not give information about his interaction with Wilson, because Wilson allegedly told investigators about this interaction. Wilson also allegedly admitted to knowing Reagin possessed and sold, illegal steroids from the beginning. Documents say he allegedly admitted he knew they were felonies.
In the report, LeCompte states he never assisted anybody else in getting illegal steroids and he never had the drugs while on duty as a state trooper. LeCompte allegedly claimed he did receive steroids.
Investigators say Jackson allegedly confessed to purchasing, possessing, injecting and distributing illegal anabolic steroids. The report also states Wilson confessed to purchasing, possessing, injecting and distributing illegal steroids. Additionally, LeCompte allegedly confessed to purchasing, possessing and injecting illegal steroids.
Purchasing, possessing, injecting and distributing illegal steroids are felonies under federal and Georgia state laws. Additionally, by doing so, the state troopers allegedly violated the laws they were sworn to protect, and accordingly, violated their Oaths of Office and DPS policies.
Since the investigation, three of the troopers have resigned their posts in Kennesaw, Dublin and Swainsboro, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
