Columbia, South Carolina---- United States Attorney Bill Nettles stated that Christopher Brit Beebe, has been sentenced in federal court in Columbia, South Carolina, for, Conspiracy to Distribute Steroids and Possession of a Firearm in Relation to a Drug Trafficking Crime, a violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 and 18 U.S.C. 924.  United States District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie sentenced Beebe to 97 months imprisonment; 5 years supervised release and a $200.00 special assessment.

Evidence presented at the change of plea hearing established that Beebe and others manufactured and then distributed steroids from 2004 to 2015 throughout the United States using the internet. The conspiracy was discovered when Kershaw County Sheriff Deputies responded to a report that Beebe’s girlfriend, Candace Altman, had been killed by a gunshot to the head at Beebe’s residence in Bethune, S.C.  On arrival, officers discovered a large amount of steroids.  The case was investigated by the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office and agents of DEA Diversion.   Assistant United States Attorney William E.
