U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon handed down the sentence Tuesday morning. She also ordered 61-year-old Harper on Tuesday to repay $31,986 from the fund that he spent on himself.

Target 11 investigator Rick Earle was in the courtroom for the sentencing hearing. Earle reported that Harper made an emotional apology moments before the judge handed down his sentence.

“I am a broken man,” Harper said. “I made a mistake.”

“This was a small point in Nate Harper’s life and it will regrettably define him.”

I would say that it quite accurately defines him.

Tip of the Iceberg. They are looking into former Boy Mayor Ravensthal and others.
As for the former chief. My sister was a former City cop who had nothing but praise for him. Said he seemed like a stand up guy who was always there. It broke her heart to read this story.
Sad end to a great career.
