'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.
Yes, this is disturbing.
He knew he’d get the snot kicked out of him in prison where inmates get even with cops like him.
one set of rules for them, and one for us
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
So what happens to all of those people this guy previously arrested?
Yeah, he ain’t no cowboy!! :)
So what happens to all of those people this guy previously arrested?
It's not important, comrade. They were just little people. They exist to feed the state. Go back to sleep.
Most likely they will dtay in jail. It is not about justice it is about control.
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.
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.
Heck, did he plant stuff for his partners to look good, too?
This guy should go to jail for a long time. He should be made an example of.

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.
