1 1 - 0 3 - 2 0 0 5 Police Commission to suspend patrolman
By CAROL MALLEY
SPRINGFIELD - The Police Commission voted to suspend for 10 days without pay patrolman Christopher Twining, who admitted he purchased human growth hormones and veterinary steroids online for his personal use as a body builder, according to a report by the department's internal investigation unit. The report was released after The Republican filed a public records request. Under the commission vote, the patrolman will be subject to random drug testing for two years. Steroids and hormones are a Class E controlled substance. Twining, who had been charged with possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute and possession of hypodermic needles, was placed on six months probation without a finding after an appearance in Hadley District Court, according to the report. In a search of Twining's home March 26, 2004, police seized more than 350 syringe needles and 100 needle tips, in addition to hundreds of tablets of steroids and vials of steroids, the report stated. The charges against Twining resulted from an investigation by the U.S. Postal Service, Massachusetts State Police and the Springfield Narcotics Bureau of steroids mailed from China to the United States, according to the report. |
