When Judges Keep it Really Real

A NYC police officer pleaded guilty in federal court this morning on charges that he used his credit card, his drivers license to rent a van and even his own gun and NYPD-issue badge to rob $1 million worth of perfume from a New Jersey warehouse last month, according to The Star-Ledger.

Brian Checo, 25, was arrested March 4 by the FBI and charged with two other officers in the Feb. 9 heist when they burst into the warehouse brandishing guns and shouting "NYPD! Hands up!" They tied up 11 warehouse workers and claimed to be performing a routine "inspection."

But the judge let Brian, who is a graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC, HAVE IT this morning and boy do we envy not being there to witness it.

“Did you really think you could get away with this?” Federal District Judge William H. Walls asked the officer. “Did you really think you could use your own ID to rent the truck?”
...
“Quite ironic, isn’t it?” the judge asked. “What type of work have you done?”

The officer looked at down and began to cry.
“I worked … NYPD,” said Checo, who lives on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

“Did you watch some stupid TV show thinking you could do this?” Walls asked.
“No sir,” Checo said.
“And you spent two years at John Jay?” the judge asked.
“Yes sir,” the officer said.
“You didn’t do well there did you?” Walls said.
