Easton Man Enters Plea For Federal Steroid Charge

BRIDGEPORT, CT — An Easton man plead guilty Thursday in connection with a steroid making operation, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Raymond J. Martin, 49, of Easton plead guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Investigators found that Martin was intercepted on a court-authorized wire tap ordering anabolic steroids.

He is due to be sentenced on July 5, and faces one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,00. He has been released on bond since July 14, 2015.

Investigators found that former Newtown Police sergeant Steven Santucci and others were receiving shipments of steroid ingredients from China and manufacturing wholesale quantities of steroids. Members of the conspiracy also distributed prescription pills and cocaine.
