BALTIMORE (AP) — The disgraced leader of a rogue Baltimore police unit was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to nine robberies while on the force.

Former Sgt. Thomas Allers is the first member of the brazenly corrupt Gun Trace Task Force to head to prison. He pleaded guilty to nine robberies during his time leading the since disbanded unit.

On Friday, there were gasps and tears as Allers, wearing a baggy jail jumpsuit, was sentenced in front of a gallery packed with his relatives and friends.

Allers, too, became emotional as his defense lawyer took the unusual step of reading aloud a suicide note he addressed to his wife. Investigators found it in his sock drawer just after his arrest.
