COLUMBUS, Ohio – A shocking case of corruption within the law enforcement community has come to light with the sentencing of Mark Anglemyer, Jr., a former police officer in Pike County, Ohio, for running a massive steroid and cocaine ring.
On [April 2025], Mark Anglemyer, Jr., 42, of Waverly, Ohio, pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and anabolic steroids. As part of his operation, Anglemyer imported raw materials from China to manufacture the steroids, which he then shipped to customers across the country via the United States Postal Service.
Between 2019 and 2024, Anglemyer’s drug trafficking operation dealt both anabolic steroids and cocaine, with the defendant obtaining kilogram quantities of cocaine from California for local distribution in Waverly.
When Anglemyer’s California cocaine suppliers were arrested by federal authorities, he and a co-conspirator flew to Colombia to seek another supplier and attempted to mail cocaine from Colombia to Waverly.
Mark Anglemyer, Jr. was sentenced to 120 months in prison for his role in the steroid and cocaine ring operation. The defendant’s sentence was announced by Dominick S. Gerace II, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and other officials. Assistant United States Attorneys Nicole Pakiz and Damoun Delaviz represented the United States in this case.
The case against Mark Anglemyer, Jr. was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Detroit and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), Pittsburgh Division. U.S. District Court Judge Algenon L. Marbley presided over the case.
The exact amount of steroids and cocaine involved in the operation was not disclosed in the press release. However, it is reported that Anglemyer’s operation mailed over 2,500 parcels of steroids and distributed 11 kilograms of cocaine.
Anglemyer’s actions as a police officer have left many in the community reeling, with questions raised about how someone with such a corrupt background was able to serve in law enforcement for so long.
