'Cowboy cop' who planted crack under couple's car seat to boost arrest quotas escapes jail after SOBBING in court.

A veteran NYPD detective framed an innocent couple by planting crack in their car during a search.

Arbeeny was convicted of ‘flaking,’ the practice of planting drugs on blameless people to reach their quota of felony collars and claim overtime, the New York Daily News reported.

He was found guilty of putting a twist of crack under a car seat in Yvelisse DeLeon and Juan Figueroa’s car during a January 2007 bust in Coney Island, New York.

The trial which ended in October 2011 left the judge shocked at the ‘cowboy culture‘ among narcotics enforcement officers.

Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach was appalled at the force’s casual attitude to arresting innocents, on the assumption that the charges would probably be dismissed.

But Arbeeny who was facing up to four years behind bars, miraculously escaped jail yesterday, after bursting into tears in court.

The police detective of 14 years broke down whimpering to Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach. that he felt ashamed and ;can’t look at myself in the mirror anymore,'

Begging shamelessly, the disgraced cop said 'Sir, I am begging you, please don't send me to jail.'

The victims, had asked Reichbach to send Arbeeny to jail.

Arbeeny was sentenced to five years’ probation and 300 hours of community service...

“Cops who pull this should be summarily executed.”

“Law and Order” Republicans are mysteriously absent from this thread...odd...

The only appropriate sentence for “dirty cops” should be life in prison, or if violence is involved, then the death penalty. Corrupt pols should get the same treatment.

Instead, all the rest of the dirty cops in NYC have been assured that they will not get a jail term for their crimes.

NYC is so foul in so many ways, we should bulldoze the whole place.

This cop displays his arrested development. He probably learned early that when caught revert to tears. Mommy won’t spankums because you are crying. HOw many non-cops can cry and escape jail time? Or, those framed, who have two strikes, can they evade the third strike via tears? This is just more corruption.

“I wonder just how many lives it has ruined....”

If “the system” really worked, it would be “hitting the lottery” time for everyone he ever arrested on evidence, and the property tax in NYC would go up 20%.

many police are bullies who use the badge to bully people. Ones like this need to be banned from being police.

He knew he’d get the snot kicked out of him in prison where inmates get even with cops like him.

the drug bust is just a way to keep busy and not have to respond to violent crime calls. The po po might get hurt

It's not important, comrade. They were just little people. They exist to feed the state. Go back to sleep.

For both this criminal with a badge and the judge that played softball with him...

A double standard in law leads no where good. We’ve been on this path for too long already.

It's NYC, so take him out to a nice Italian restaurant first ... maybe one with exceptional veal.

It was a lab tech. When Mr. Dirtbag entered in the evidence, the lab tech inspected the crack rock. It had the lab techs initials on it. Subsequent checking of the long term evidence locker showed a missing sample.

So... Mr. Dirtbag cop not only planted this on someone innocent, he'd originally STOLEN it from an evidence locker.

A liar AND a thief.

Anyone given power by society MUST be held to higher standards of behavior that the rest of us. We have given police officers the power to take our liberty or even our lives in order to protect society. When they break that trust they should suffer much higher punishments for their actions.

This guy should go to jail for a long time. He should be made an example of.

"to reach their quota" ...I'm surprised nobody has commented on this fact. I think it is absurd to have any "quotas" when it comes to law enforcement.

Leniency for loosing his benefits? If I committed such an act, the judge wouldn’t care if I, list my bennies from my employer.
And some here wonder why there is such a hate on for LEOs.
