ERIE, Pa.
A former Erie police officer is guilty of stealing cocaine from the department's evidence room.
Forty-seven-year-old Lt. Robert Liebel pleaded guilty to all nine charges against him, including theft and possession of cocaine, on Tuesday in Erie County Court.
The 22-year veteran was arrested in February after Erie police conducted a sting operation. The drugs were taken in 2007 and 2008.
Liebel will be sentenced on March 3. He was fired in May and is enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program.

He wasn’t fired. He was allowed to resign so that he could keep his pension and all other benefits.
