"An investigation of police officers at two local agencies was concluded this week with the resignation of a third police officer for illegal use of steroids.
Polk County Police Department Chief Kenny Dodd said two of his officers – John Garrett, 41, of Silver Creek, and Shawn Bates, 27, of Silver Creek – both resigned effective Sept. 21, in lieu of termination.
“An investigation revealed that Bates and Garrett ordered the ingredients to manufacture anabolic steroids,” Dodd said. “They had to convert these ingredients to liquid form to use it, which they did.”
Newsome said that Couch, after being read a Garrity Warning, admitted to having provided a single vial of injectable testosterone to Garrett. Garrett then reportedly provided the testosterone – which is a Schedule III controlled substance – to Bates.
