A former police officer convicted of charges in a case that led to the NYPD's ticket-fixing probe has been sentenced to up to 14 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Jose Ramos turned his two Bronx barbershops into a front for drug dealing and stolen goods.
He was convicted in October of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance, attempted robbery and attempted grand larceny.
Ramos said during sentencing Wednesday that he took full responsibility for his actions.
He still faces other charges, including conspiring to kill a witness and fixing tickets.
The ticket-fixing investigation against more than a dozen officers sparked a debate over the informal practice of police squashing tickets or minor summonses as favors for friends and relatives.
