Today a former NYC police sergeant pleaded guilty to using an NYPD computer to get inside information for a crack dealer while on-duty. The pusher suspected he was being followed by law enforcement and asked his cop friend Roosevelt Green—who's since retired from the force—to get him license plate information. Unfortunately for him, the sergeant's punishment, six months behind bars, far exceeds the payment he received for his misdeed: a warm-up suit and a pair of sneakers. The dealer and 14 other members of his drug ring await sentencing, according to AP.
