A Lee County deputy was arrested Monday night on charges of possession of steroids, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputy John Eaton, a member of the sheriff's office for seven and a half years, was booked into the county jail around 10 p.m. His bond is set at $3,500.
According to the sheriff's office, detectives obtained a sworn statement earlier Monday revealing Eaton's suspected drug use and possession.
Following a search of Eaton's Fort Myers residence, detectives discovered three vials of Testosterone Enanthate, an empty vial of the same steroid, a vial of Nandrolone Decoanate and needles to inject the steroids. All were found in his bedroom.
A green leafy substance, which tested positive for marijuana, was found in the master bathroom along with an aluminum can altered to smoke the substance.
An investigation revealed that Eaton allegedly used the illegal substances as recently as two days before his arrest.
Eaton has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation.
Eaton joined the sheriff's office in September 2005 and had been recently assigned to patrol Bonita Springs.
