ORLANDO, FLORIDA – In a federal court hearing, Senior U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell sentenced John Dillon Williamson (27, Orlando) to four years in federal prison for distributing anabolic steroids.
According to court documents, Williamson conspired with others over several years to distribute hundreds of kilograms of anabolic steroids. Williamson and his co-conspirators ordered the steroids from overseas suppliers, received them at several addresses in central Florida and elsewhere, combined them into various mixtures, and used the internet to distribute the steroids throughout the United States.

The investigation was carried out by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Postal Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Embry J. Kidd prosecuted the case.
A total of hundreds of kilograms of anabolic steroids were distributed during the scheme. Although the exact monetary value of the steroids was not specified, the impact on the community and the health risks associated with steroid use are undeniable.
