A substance abuse counselor faced an arrest instead of payment for distribution of anabolic steroids

Ismael Melendez received 9-year imprisonment for weapons’ charge in 2005. This man has served as an inmate there. Recently This man was accused in selling anabolic steroids. Melendez promoted sales of banned medications inside and even outside the prison in New York. He faces charges of prison contraband, illegal possession of illegal substances and illegal possession of syringes.
It was found out that Richard Finley, Melendez’ substance abuse counselor, had been involved in the criminal deals of Melendez. This person worked over 10 years for the Cape Vincent prison. The substance abuse canselor helped him to sell anabolic steroids outside the prison. The illegal activity led to his arrest in November 2011. It happened when Finley had caught during distribution of anabolic steroids to a man in a certain parking lot.
Melendez sent Finley to deliver certainforbidden medications to a customer. The purchase was made in a certain shopping centre.
Undoubtedly, a question may appear: Why did the substance abuse counselor start to sell forbidden products?
Finley said why he helped Melendez . Melendez promised to give him HGH and 1500 dollars. It would have been given as exchange for promotion of smuggling alcohol, anabolic steroids and creatine inside the prison. But the substance abuse counselor was caught by the police and charged with possession of banned medicines and a hypodermic instrument.
The substance abuse counselor made also another immense mistake. He brought his small child of 7 years old, when he was involved in the crime. That’s why he was also accused in endangering the welfare of a child.
This caused a suspension of Finley from his job without any pay. Thus, this man lost the well-paying job. As it is known, the substance abuse counselor was paid over 52, 000 dollars per one year.
The inmate was transferred to another jail. This person continues to serve his sentence.
