On Tuesday, District Attorney Michael Blonigen recommended two years of supervised probation.

Agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation began investigating Henderson earlier this year while engaged in a probe of Franklin Ryle Jr., who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for kidnapping a truck driver while on duty.

In January, investigators discovered text messages Ryle sent Henderson asking him to get rid of vials and a syringe from his work desk, according to a DCI agent's affidavit. In the text messages, Ryle called the items "juice," a slang term for steroids.

Two days after authorities searched Ryle's desk and found vials containing nearly 13 grams of cypiogen, Henderson told agents he and Ryle bought the steroids during a 2004 vacation in Mexico. According to the affidavit, they brought the steroids back to Wyoming in an empty vanilla bottle in Ryle's suitcase. The drugs were for personal use.

Henderson, a patrolman who was based in Casper, cut ties with the Highway Patrol in August.

Tuesday morning, his defense attorney, Craig Silva, argued for a sentence of 6- to 8-months of supervised probation.
