Bronx Ex-Officer Is Sent to Prison
A former city police officer who helped his brother distribute vast quantities of cocaine and marijuana throughout the New York area from 2002 to 2005 was sentenced in Federal District Court to 10 years in prison yesterday.
The former officer, Jose Torrado, 32, of the Bronx, pleaded guilty earlier this year to drug trafficking charges. Mr. Torrado joined the Police Department in 2001 and resigned in 2006 amid an investigation into his crimes. While serving with the department, Mr. Torrado worked with a criminal group that smuggled drugs from Mexico to New York in trucks, prosecutors have said.
