Former Boston police officer sentenced to 26 years in prison

M.L.

Boston (AP)  -- A former Boston police officer convicted of taking thousands of dollars from men he believed were drug dealers has been sentenced to 26 years in prison.

Roberto Pulido was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Boston on Friday. He received the sentenced recommended by prosecutors, who described him as the ringleader of a group of three officers caught in a sting operation.

The men escorted two truckloads of cocaine into Boston in 2006. They were arrested later that year after they went to Miami to collect $35,000 from men they believed were drug dealers. The men were actually undercover FBI agents.

Pulido pleaded guilty in November to drug conspiracy and distribution charges.

Former officers Nelson Carrasquillo was sentenced to 18 years and Carlos Pizarro got 13 years.
