A former Baltimore police officer has been convicted of corruption

A former Baltimore cop was convicted guilty of many federal crimes, including delivering a gun that he knew was going to be planted on a suspect.

According to media reports, a federal jury convicted Robert Hankard on Monday of corruption and conspiracy charges, including allegations that he plotted with others to dump a BB pistol on a suspect who had been driven over by another officer and then lied about it to a grand jury.

Hankard was also found guilty of fabricating a search warrant application and an arrest record in another case when drugs were put on a suspect. The prosecution was a result of the renegade Gun Trace Task Force.

Hankard could face decades in prison. There is no set date for that sentence.
