Former trooper Ryle charged in steroids case.

Prosecutors on Monday charged former state trooper Franklin “Joe” Ryle Jr. with possessing steroids between 2004 and 2009.

Ryle, 42, now faces two steroid charges in Natrona County. In an orange jumpsuit with his hands and ankles shackled, he made his initial appearance before Circuit Judge Michael Patchen on Tuesday.


Early this year, while investigating Ryle’s plot to kidnap a Wal-Mart truck driver, authorities interviewed another former state trooper, Devan Henderson, according to an affidavit from the case.


He told investigators that in 2004 he and Ryle brought steroids back from Mexico, where they had gone on vacation.


The investigation later led authorities to Ryle’s ex-wife. She confirmed Ryle brought steroids back from the vacation and said she had personally injected her ex-husband with steroids, according to the affidavit.


Investigators also say that in January they found two vials of Cypiogen, an anabolic steroid, in Ryle’s work desk, as well as one syringe and 11 needles.


In February, former trooper Adam Longo came forward and admitted that he had purchased steroids at a Casper gym, ultimately sharing the drugs with Ryle, according to the affidavit.
