Law enforcement didn’t prosecute a steroid dealer but used him as an undercover informant

Robert Kusmack, a former officer of Paw Paw Police Department, was caught possessing Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) due to a Michigan steroid investigation. The targets of the investigation were officials of law enforcement and an owner of a gym. As a result, this police officer received probation of 1 year and was sentenced to pay certain fine. So, this police officer was dismissed in 2010.
Investigations connected with steroids are led commonly in the following way: consumers of steroids are used to distributors of steroids. But sometimes authorities apply another method to lead investigations.
United States Mail Inspection Service had discovered a package that contained 50 vials of HGH and was addressed to the distributor of steroids Tom Radke. The West Michigan Enforcement Team (WMET) and the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team (KVET) started the investigation that resulted in detection of the steroid dealer.
But the authorities made a decision not to prosecute the distributor of steroids but to use him as an informant. It was made a decision to catch police officials who use steroids with the help of the distributor of steroids. An owner of a local gym was implicated in this process too.
Radke acted as an undercover informant in this situation. He sold Fluoxymesterone to Aaron DiPrima that was the owner of a local gym. The gym owner provided the police official Robert Kusmack with this drug. Both the gym owner Aaron DiPrima and the police official were arrested.
The gym owner Aaron DiPrima pleaded guilty in possession of an analogue. He was sentenced to one-year probation. He was also sentenced to 60 hours of community service. So, the steroid dealer was not sentenced to jail. Three consumers of steroids lost their jobs.
