MINEOLA, N.Y.
A former New York City police officer has been sentenced to five years in prison for stealing handguns from a police evidence room and trading them for painkillers.
Hubertus Vannes, of Roslyn Heights, N.Y., pleaded guilty in May to criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal sale of a firearm. He had been an NYPD officer for two years when he was arrested last fall.
Prosecutors say Vannes admitted trading three stolen guns to a man for painkillers. He had 76 tablets of prescription painkillers in his possession when he was arrested.
