The high-profile bourbon theft investigation in Frankfort took another turn on Wednesday.
Deputies say they’re trying to determine if a police officer bought steroids from one of the suspects indicted in the Pappy Van Winkle bourbon heist.
Sources say a well-respected, veteran officer with the Frankfort Police Department is under investigation for buying steroids from Gilbert “Toby” Curtsinger, one of the nine people indicted in a bourbon theft ring court documents describe as a “criminal syndicate.” Steroid trafficking charges were also included in the indictment.

Sources indicate the officer faces a choice of resigning or facing termination.
Sheriff Pat Melton said the nine accused suspects met each other playing softball. Deputies say they stole more than 300 bottles of Pappy and sold them over the years for $800 a bottle.
