A New York City police detective has been found guilty of official misconduct after it was concluded that he planted crack cocaine on an unsuspecting couple in 2007.
Detective Jason Arbeeny, a 14-year police veteran, was found guilty by Brooklyn State Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach of falsifying business records, submitting a false instrument for filing and official misconduct.
Prosecutors say, Arbeeny, who worked the NYPD’s Brooklyn South unit, planted a small bag of rock cocaine on a man and women during a search four years ago.
He faces up to four years in prison when sentenced.
