ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- An Atlanta police officer has been
sentenced to 4 years and six months in prison for lying to
investigators after a drug raid ended in the death of a 92-year-old
woman===========IMAGE=======================/IMAGE===========
Superior Court Judge Michael Johnson also sentenced Arthur Tesler on Thursday to six months of probation.
The officer must serve 450 hours of community service.
Kathryn Johnston died in a hail of bullets after narcotics officers burst into her northwest Atlanta home on November 21, 2006, using a special no-knock warrant to search for drugs.
The 42-year-old Tesler was convicted Tuesday of making false statements. Two other officers have already pleaded guilty and Tesler was the only officer to go to trial.http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/05/22/elderly.shootout.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
