Vian man convicted in steroids case

 MUSKOGEE - A Vian man was found guilty by a federal jury Thursday in connection with selling steroids to high school football players and others.



Bobby Brown, 38, was convicted of possession and distribution of anabolic steroids and distribution of a controlled substance to persons under 21.

The jury was unable to find Brown guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of distributing or manufacturing in or near schools, U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling said.

Sperling said testimony established several steroid recipients were Vian High School football players, and Brown helped administer the drug.

Officials determined the time of the drug sales were between March 2006 and June 2008. Sentencing guidelines show that Brown is required to spend at least 51 to 63 months in prison, Sperling said.

The case is related to the grand jury indictment of two former law enforcement officers, who have both pleaded guilty to steroid distribution.

Sentencing is pending against former McIntosh County reserve deputy Dusty Lee Burns, 29, of Checotah, and former Creek Nation Lighthorseman Jimmy Russell Hamm II, aka “Rusty” Hamm, 31, of Checotah.

Vian is about 85 miles southeast of Tulsa in Sequoyah County.
