Court documents reveal that Anglemyer imported raw materials from China to manufacture anabolic steroids, which he produced at co-conspirators’ residences in Pike County. These steroids were then mailed to customers nationwide via the United States Postal Service.
Anglemyer also sourced kilogram quantities of cocaine from California for distribution in Waverly. When his suppliers in California were arrested, he traveled to Colombia to find new suppliers and attempted to mail cocaine from Colombia to Waverly.
Anglemyer and three co-defendants were indicted by a federal grand jury in May 2024. He pleaded guilty in April 2025.
Anglemyer previously worked as a police officer with the Pike County Sheriff’s Office and the Piketon, Waverly, and Wellston police departments.
