Former Hamden Police Officer Sentenced for Steroid Distribution
Bryan Kelly, a 46-year-old former police officer from Madison, Connecticut, has been sentenced to three years of probation for distributing anabolic steroids.
According to court documents, in December 2017, the Statewide Narcotics Task Force West conducted a court-authorized search of an individual’s residence in Hamden and seized approximately 25,000 pills and 530 vials of anabolic steroids. The investigation revealed that Kelly purchased steroids from his source of supply since approximately October 2016.
At the time of the search, Kelly was a police officer with the Hamden Police Department. He personally used some of the steroids and distributed some to friends and colleagues.
Kelly pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids on May 21, 2018. He has since retired from the Hamden Police Department.
As part of his sentence, Kelly must serve the first six months of his probation in home confinement with location monitoring. He was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.
The investigation was conducted by the Connecticut State Police, Statewide Narcotics Task Force West, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah P. Karwan with the assistance of the State’s Attorney for the New Haven Judicial District.
Kelly’s sentence marks the end of a lengthy investigation into his steroid distribution activities. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of holding public officials accountable for their actions.
