Mass. Officers Disciplined After Steroid Probe

• Officer.com
A probe into illegal steroids has resulted in disciplinary action against two police officers, one of whom works for the Pittsfield Police Department. Authorities have identified the city officer as David P. Kirchner, a former plainclothes investigator with the Pittsfield Police Drug Unit who recently was suspended. The other law enforcement official is a Massachusetts State Police trooper, whom officials have declined to identify. No criminal charges have been filed against either officer. The trooper, who is stationed at the Russell barracks and is believed to live in Berkshire County, was placed on "restricted duty." That means he was stripped of his service weapon and cruiser and placed on "desk duty," according to David Procopio, a state police spokesman in Framingham.
