Man gets probation for role in steroid ring

Tools

By The Associated Press

MISSOULA - A 61-year-old Missoula man who pleaded guilty to running an international steroid smuggling ring over the Internet has been sentenced to five years probation.

Jimmy R. Jones and his son-in-law, Dana Fiscus, pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to make and sell steroids as well as money laundering. The judge took into consideration Jones' numerous health problems before announcing the sentence.

Jones and Fiscus were accused of receiving bulk steroids from China, processing and packaging them into small quantities in Missoula and selling them over the Internet. Court records state that money exchanged hands through wire transfers and cashier's checks. Fiscus is the husband of a Missoula police officer. He's scheduled to be sentenced Friday.
