CADMAN PLAZA EAST — A white police officer pleaded guilty Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court to civil rights charges accusing him of falsely arresting a black man under the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk strategy.
Michael Daragjarti also pleaded guilty to an extortion charge stemming from a separate, off-duty incident involving a dispute over a stolen truck.
