In the early 2000s, a Washington County deputy sheriff was involved in an incident where he attempted to smuggle anabolic steroids out of Tijuana, Mexico. The deputy was arrested at the U.S. border by Customs agents and faced potential federal charges carrying up to five years in prison. However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego decided not to prosecute, understanding that the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council would take action. The deputy received a four-year suspension from POST. Specific details about the deputy’s identity and any additional disciplinary actions by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office are not provided in the available sources.
