Ex-NYPD cop gets two years for collecting insurance money after torching SUV
An ex-NYPD cop was sentenced to two years in prison Thursday for fraudulently collecting insurance money after he arranged to have his SUV torched with some police gear inside.
“I take full responsibility for my actions,” Carlos Becker said in Brooklyn federal court, adding that being in prison has been, “humbling.”
For the past eleven and a half months, the 13-year NYPD veteran has been confined to a tiny cell at the Manhattan Detention Center.
