[SIZE=-1]Canby Police Chief Greg Kroeplin remains the subject of an independent inquiry launched by the city of Canby into FBI allegations that he concealed or failed to investigate Deason's alleged steroid abuse. Kroeplin was placed on paid administrative leave Nov. 17, the day after a story in The Oregonian detailed the allegations. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]On Jan. 29, a Clackamas County grand jury indicted Deason on seven counts of first-degree official misconduct and one count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Deason joined the Canby Police Department in 1999 and resigned in July, about two weeks after he abruptly cut off an interview with FBI agents. According to court papers, he then immediately tried to find Traverso. Deason also used his police cell phone to leave threats on his ex-wife's voice mail, according to court papers, and accused her of ruining his career. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Traverso has been indicted on seven counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, one count of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, three counts of first-degree theft and one count of aggravated theft. He posted 10 percent of his $75,000 bail Wednesday and was released from the Clackamas County Jail. He has a March 3 court date. [...][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]FBI agents say Traverso, a former competitive bodybuilder who works at Canby Landscape Supply, which his family owns, admitted selling steroids and human growth hormone to Deason. Traverso gave agents an April 30, 2002, order for steroids, written on Canby police stationery, that he received from Deason, according to affidavits filed in federal court. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]In July 2006, an outside police agency gave Kroeplin, Canby's police chief, a two-page memo detailing an informant's tip that he saw Deason ride his police motorcycle in uniform to buy steroids from an Oregon City man since identified as Brian Jackson. Jackson told the informant he didn't worry about being caught because he was selling to the police. FBI agents allege that Kroeplin brushed off the tip. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Jackson told FBI agents that he sold Deason anabolic steroids such as Anavar and Winstrol every 30 to 45 days and that the sales usually involved 100-pill bottles costing $300 to $350. Jackson said Deason was usually on duty and in uniform, according to a search warrant affidavit. [/SIZE]
